This is the first I've heard about your surgery. I don't know if you mentioned on the forum beforehand that you were planning this, as I would have shared my own circumcision experience with you.
I spent a few weeks pre-op with my foreskin pulled back, to get used to the sensations (or more accurately, overstimulation/rubbing/chafing of my underwear) prior to getting the snip. Thing is, my foreskin was only too happy to retract into place, so it took some creativity to get it to stay put.
As for those who complain about an uncircumcised penis being 'dirty', yes it's quite possible to wash it. In fact, this was one of my complaints about my own. That is, I could scrub-a-dub-dub in the morning shower till it was squeaky clean, but by evening the smegma would be back. Quite the drag. If I knew I was going to be intimate with a woman on a spur-of-the-moment basis, I would try to find time to go to a washroom and at least use toilet paper to try and clean things up one last time.
The smegma was merely a nuisance. I was rather partial to the aesthetics of being circumcised.
I was a little disappointed with the results, though. My urologist lopped off too much, and so things tended to be quite tight. In fact, during the post-op healing I would get nocturnal erections which were painful from pulling against the stitches; I would bleed a bit from the one side, they were pulling that much.
So if I were to turn back the hands of time and reconsider, would I still do it? Yes. But knowing what I know now, I would shop around and consult with different urologists. From what I've read on|ine since then, it seems the "high and tight" is the way to go. And quite probably done with a Plastibell, and not "freehand" with a scalpel.
It's a personal choice whether to get it done. I'm very glad my parents (who were both medical professionals at the time) left my bits alone, thus leaving the choice up to me.
As for statistics? Anyone can make statistics say what they want. Just remember there are 3 kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
