Concerneddad,
Based on what you wrote about scheduling, I hope the appointment today goes well.
I wanted to add I really like your attitude. I would single you out as having an extremely straightforward and reasoned approach to your daughter's treatment. That is hard to do. I am guessing you have some science background.
One point about the comment of only 1 in 5 patients are accepted for VBT Ti Ed mentioned... that is for one surgeon (Newton). He seems to be picking the best candidates so the procedure will be successful. There can be a fairly high rate of complications even among these "best" candidates. I have gotten the impression that the ABC doctors have a much higher acceptance rate likely because they are doing osteotomies among other reasons. I wonder how their complication rate compares to Newton's rate.
