  • 2nd visit to the surgeon

    Today was my 2nd visit to see the surgeon. They measured my height today, gained approximately 1 1/2". I was down 2 inches from my normal height of 5'6". Going to get x-rayed on July 16th, then back to see surgeon on the 24th, then I will receive my before and after x-rays. Dr. Agulnick was excited for me because he knows a lot of us like to post them to this forum (he actually told me to go onto this forum when I first started seeing him). Going to take a nap now, can't believe how tired I get from just little outings!

    It's great that you've regained so much of what you lost in height, Dolores. Fancy your Dr. suggesting this forum! I wonder how many of our surgeons know about/read this forum??
