I’m considering seeking in-person second opinions and would greatly appreciate any guidance or insights you may have. Thank you. Please note I’ve been extremely on top of my post care as well. 10 sessions of 100% oxygen HBOT starting 1 day post op, 20 sessions of post op Mld. SPM’s to help compact inflammation, sleeping upright w recommended compression for 10 weeks, daily walking, clean whole food in process diet. Etc
