[quote="Rufian"]and the main reason is MONEY $$$ these surgeons and companies are not your friends, would they do revision surgery for free? It always comes down to the almighty dollar, they're so pushed here due insurance, the health market, politics, etc.[quote] Well Im going on 11 years...

Daytripper: What's the actual deal with revisions? Is it a more difficult procedure than the initial implant? For me the revision was an easier surgery to recovery from compared to the original.
