The next part is the consult, and getting insurance approval.

It looks like you took 7 years to decide on the implant, do you mind me asking why? Do you wish you had done it sooner?

I tried 5 years ago, maybe 7... but my insurance declined it. So I stayed on injections.. over 10 years which is not good to do that many injections....

I turned 65 this year, and I knew medicare would cover the surgery. That is why I finally did it this year. Looking back, I would do it sooner if I could.
