Toughy, Theoddz, from what you have said, it seems likely that that is how it is going to go, if all goes well. I think that it would be wonderful if that happened, even if Dr. Bowers only trains the surgeons at the medical school for a start. For starters, the more people that are trained to do it, the more likely it is that others will be trained, in time, as new surgeons become experienced at this procedure.
If they start also training people at the SF VAMC that would be even better. I'd happily go to SF to have my SRS done by the VA there. Mind you, I would still have to find the funds to get there, and support myself, but it would certainly be worth it, to me.
