Lifelong medication. It's not the surgery itself I fear, it's being in a ward with other people.
I will go with the surgery no doubt, but that also depends on the success percentage of the surgery. If it is well above 80%, I'm definitely going for it. Lifelong medication ain't a flex.
I fear having to go under the knife so much. I would rather take a lifelong medication as far as it would be effective than do a surgery of any kind. I know that I can religiously adhere to the routine of taking drugs as much as possible.
I think the best thing is to consider the condition of the disease and the treatment options. If I discovered that the surgery is quite safe and also has a high success rate, I might lean towards it to avoid long-term medication side effects and over-dependence on it.
I have not been in this situation, however, if I have to choose between surgery and life long medication, I would certainly choose surgery.
