Looks good Jack!

Did Dr Eid discuss why he's using the Classic pump now instead of OTR, or was that your decision?

titan one touch Sorry to hear about the pump, I have the same one. Hopefully it's a tubing issue that can be repaired without removing the pump. You might ask your surgeon if he recommends changing to a different pump than the Touch when you get the revision. There are posts here about doctors pref...

Which of the Titan pumps do you have?

I've had a Titan Touch since December 2017, no problems at all. I would go with Titan again for a replacement.

Hi Treetop, glad to hear you are going to see Dr Eid. I'm coming up on 7 years, no issues so far.

Medi-Cal is California's version of Medicaid. Traditional Medicare does cover implants and most doctors will accept it, I went to Dr Eid. I thin...

What I'm getting at is the process to get scheduled... I think for instance - and I'm FAR from certain on this, that Dr. Eid has you get a cardiologist approval prior (understandable), but maybe you can only see specific ones he has selected? When I went to Dr Eid in 2017 a pre-approval exam was re...
