My surgeon, for example, schedules new consultations about six months out. So if it is something that’s super important for you like it was for me, moving a little faster is probably for the best.

Eh, I can wait. I'm still leaning towards the idea of "I'll just keep what I have" but like, you telling me that I could have one that looks and feels just like the real thing one day? wow! Maybe 2 years from now? Maybe 20? Maybe never? Who knows? I'm happy to just have the option!
