Good luck with your surgery, I had a similar situation but I choose a dorsal slit (im very happy with it) My advise to you is Make yourself VERY clear to the DR. about what and how much foreskin you want to have cut. I would suggest having him draw (with a pen marker) a line showing where he is going to cut. I Think most Docs. will cut more then nessesary so they wont have to have you come back and have more cut. This might work well for the dr. but it dosent work well for the person trying to perserve his foreskin.
