40yrs Old (Anyone Use Dr. Jacobs in NYC?)

[Noseguard]

Sorry for the delayed response, have been off the board for a day or two.

As for your questions.  I too had a couple consults, but when I met with Jacobs I cancelled the other one I had left.  I asked many of his patients who post here about their experience, and all (about 20) responded favorably.  That coupled with my own comfort level with him made me confident in my choice.  The clincher for me was his experience with the procedure.  Many docs do G surgery, but not many "specialize" in it.  I am confident in recommending Jacobs.

As for the timeline for your tests.....you should be fine.  The surgery wipes you out for about 24hrs.  While physical activity is limited for a while, studying or desk type work is not an issue at all.

Hope this helps.

Judge for yourself:

I had my surgery on 2/5/08 with Dr. Elliot Jacobs in NYC.
