I see he goes to both TV Hospital and Leesburg hospital, any one out there have any first hand information or opinions about which hospital to use. I understand its a fairly serious surgery and a hospital stay of 5-7 days. Right now, I am fairly uneasy about all of this. I hope after speaking with Dr. Han, I can get some of my questions answered.....but I would appreciate any first hand info. Thanks.

My sister had a part of her intestine removed due to DiverT.It was serious surgery and a 10 day recovery. She had it done in Chicago where we lived. I would say to go to Tampa about 1 1/2 hrs and look for a surgeon there St Joseph Hospital in Tampa has some great surgeons I would google St Joseph Hospital Tampa physician Referrals. Or even Orlando should have some larger hospitals. You are talking some serious surgery. However maybe someone in TV has had this surgery and they can speak first hand. My prayers are with you
