Hello ma'am and welcome.

Yes, this is common and most doctors reduce the cc and patients find relief, although instead of going in for surgery right away he could experiment with removal of a few more cc's.

If you do have any issues or concerns,please bring them up with your doctor. It is your body and unless you give clearance for surgery, no doctor can operate on you. Speak to youe doctor about your concerns and only if you feel satisfied, give the go ahead for surgeru.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
