Monnie,
Condolences on the terrible story; especially considering that you're not yet even 30 years old!
While Dr's Zeegers and Bertagnoli both have stellar reputations and their opinions would be valuable in making a decision, if you're intent on the M6, no one's ever posted on here of them using the M6. Some other European surgeons that are known to use it are Mr Dare in Hampshire, England and Dr Bierstadt (sp?) in Germany. If you want an American surgeon with the M6, it's been posted on here that Dr Lauryssen in Beverly Hills, CA does surgery in Cypress through the AIMIS organization.
In general it seems to take less than a couple of months from first contact to surgery with the European surgeons. I'm guessing that AIMIS would generally take longer.
Good luck, Jeff
