The horror stories i've heard were all from several years ago and from 
people who tried to be cheap about where they had it done.  There are 
some things that are worth the money to have done by the best in the 
buisness, and i would consider this one of them. 

If i needed crutches to walk, i would have surgury on my legs to walk 
without them.  Even if it meant a 1% chance of failure.  My glasses are 
nothing but crutches for my eyes.  Sure, there are a lot of people who 
get used to living in wheel chairs or using crutches for the rest of 
their life, but why should i be one of them if there is an effective fix?
