Re: Second time around!
My revision surgeries have always been less painful. In fact one pain pill the last surgery and that was just precautionary for the 5 hour drive home

Re: Implanted Jan 22nd by Dr Carrion
The classic is held down on both sides of the release so the cylinders will deflate. One touch just has one button that is pushed so the cylinders will deflate.
I also think the bulb pump on the one touch is a little more firm. I’ve had both type pumps.

Re: Broken again?
Also you should be able to negotiate that cost. When insurance pays it’s usually about 1/2 that price. One of my surgeries was billed at 78k. Insurance paid 22k.

Re: Broken again?
Well all insurance is that way. Even if you get it pre approved does not guarantee it will be covered….so why have to go through all the pre process… go figure
