I mean, the way he explained and showed us, it seemed like he knew what he was talking about. (however, I am still going to find a 2nd opinion, we arent scheduled until the 20th.) 60 % of it is screwed up, and he said that if we waited till he was older, it would start to look deformed, and he said sooner rather than later it would become to uncomfortable when he'd have erections that he'd be in obvious need. He told us to think of cutting your hand, and if you held that hand on the other hand, it would heal together. well, he said that is what happened with his circ, the part that needed to heal stuck and grew onto a place its not supposed to. i told him our pedi had told us specifically, because I asked, that we werent supposed to pull the extra skin down after it was done. She said not to touch it, to just put vasaline on it and let it heal. (ive never delt with this before, so I listened) yesterday, I asked him if it could have been avoided and he said yes, if we had pulled on the skin.

These still just sound like adhessions. Reccent studies show that they almost always release on their own. If they start to cause pain at some point then you could reconsider.
At the moment there is
no problem. the reasoning to do this surgery is b/c it
might prevent
possible future problems. This is the same reason that you dad recomended circ'ing in the first place, and you can see where that has gotten you. Don't rush into another unnecessary surgery.
The adhessions may or may not realease on their own in time. They may or may not cause discomfort. The surgery might go reasonably well, or it might leave your child with more greater problems and involves the risks associated with putting a very young baby under general anethesia (unless the Dr wants to do it without, in which case
:.)

In US hospitals the birth mother is the only person with the legal right to sign those papers. Not fathers, foster parents, adoptive parents,
just mom. When
you said "no" the nurse should have walked out of the room.
