[quote=Anonymous]I was strongly leaning towards no circumcision but my husband felt very strongly that our son be circumcised. We are not Jewish. I went ahead with it at Sibley and everything seemed to turn out fine at first. By my son's one month check-up, it became clear that the OB who performed the procedure did not cut off enough skin. By four-six months my son's penis had droopy, jagged foreskin and he did not appear to be circumcised at all. He went on to develop painful adhesions and we had to "re-do" his circumcision for medical reasons (in addition to cosmetic ones). We had to wait until he was 13 months to do it and my son had to be placed under general anesthesia which was terrifying. Everything turned out fine in the end and we had an excellent surgeon, Dr. Louis Marmon. He is also a mohel. If you do go ahead with the procedure, my advice would be to get an expert THE FIRST TIME. I did not have another child, but would have had an even harder decision if I had another son.[/quote]
