Barbara, you said this was a simple procedure. How simple. Could I fly out to LA myself and have it done as an outpatient and fly back the same or next day? It isn't done under general anathesia, is it? Also, do you have any clue as to cost? I realize your insurance covered it so you probably don't. THANKS!! (spell check can't figure out what I am trying to say with "anathesia." It suggests "anathema." Hope you can figure it out).
