If all things were equal, I do not think I could chose between Dr. Eid or Dr. Kramer.

Both have always been very responsive and courteous. Both seem to be intent on high quality work. Both will come see you or do whatever is needed to give you the best outcome.

Eid's warranty I find a plus that you would dream about.

Dr. Kramer and his quite professional secretary Connie have called and emailed with more questions and more information than I ever anticipated to make sure all goes as expected. This level of service I like. Never been anything less than super nice. First class service in a professional manner.

Only one factor decided it for me. UMMC is now taking United Healthcare.

I owe a big shout out of thank you to williamb for the p.m. telling me they take that insurance again. Thank you very very much. Today was another day wondering how long I can take this reservoir that some days is starting to be an issue. I ate aspirin all day. That soon has to stop.

Cheers everyone.

Alibaba, stop that aspirin soon, it's a blood thinner. Operation...

Yes, there are a number that I must stop. Sunday is pill box fill day so changes start then which will give me a 16 day off period. New one on the list that was never on any list of suspend from use before is Melatonin. Vitamin E always was on the list as was Advil. Normally I do not take pain killers but some of this is getting a little too irritating to ignore lately. Actually today was the first aspirins in probably a year because advil was not doing the trick. Thanks for looking out for me. Cheers.

Best of luck man....

ali, I hope Dr Kramer tells you what all went wrong with your first implant. I think you mentioned the bulb was problematic?

I was instructed by Dr. Eid to stop taking aspirin one week before my surgery.....

NO ASPIRIN for a week. I stopped it two weeks prior to be on the safe side, but I really think one week is plenty.

Wait for the video. I hope there will be one. I am sure he will tell what all was wrong and why. At this point I think all is going to point to the way it was installed. Whether I am correct or not awaits validation by a pro.
Cheers. Have a great weekend.

Dr. Kramer will make a video and give you the Youtube link to it. It will be edited and narrated.

If you want to know how to download the entire video to your computer. I can help with that. But, he leaves them up on Youtube.

If you want to be sure, ask him to do the video.

Hey, when is the surgery? I will say a prayer for you and give Dr. Kramer a shout out for you!!

I guess everybody on the board will want to see Alibaba's implant video!
