i am one of the ones who says they are awful and is doing everything I can to avoid it this time!!! I was in terrible pain afterwards and took a long time to heal properly. Plus Jackson was pretty damaged with cuts and bruises allover his head and face and honestly, he semed pretty traumatised by the whole thing!

Even having a baby aside, I think avoiding any kind of surgery is good advice. Obviously in your case it isn't that black and white, you have other issues to consider, so I guess you just have to weigh up worst case scenarios in both situations and stick with what you are comfortable with - But just remember that everyone reacts to and heals very differently from surgery, it might not be a walk in the park for you either.
