Re: Vacuum Device
VED therapy before and after and strong recommendation for hydro type of VED!!! I used a hydro pump pre-op, about twice a week, and, at three months post-op, started using it again about 1-2 times a week. I cannot recommend enough the hydro style pump versus the air vacuum pump. I have used both. Wi...
Re: Insurance said I was covered
I had a similar experience almost catch me. Dr Eid's office and the insurance said the procedure was 'approved' (NOTE: NOT the same as covered). However, the approval meant absolutely nothing.

Re: Dr. Kramer
Dr Kramer was scheduled to be 'off' the month of July. I believe he indicated to me back in May that he was going abroad to assist/teach implant techniques.

Re: Dr. Kramer
Dr. Kramer recently told me that he estimates that he installs about 60% titan and 40% AMS.

Re: Dr. Kramer
My experience with Dr Kramer has been wonderful but I echo the feedback on the UMMC being substandard. I, too, had issues but was vigilant about everything and I was able to catch oversights before they became issues and push for action directly at times. I hope the administrative aspect as coordina...

Re: Any of you have procedure far from home alone ?
Evinrude, I had a seven hour plane trip to return home at post op 48hrs. I had no trouble staying at the hotel or traveling by myself. Between stocking up on food and supplies ahead of time and calling in orders to the in house restaurant, I was fine. Just have some ice packs on hand as you will be ...
