Chris,
Thank you so much for the info. I don't think alot of us know that. I
feel like I just wasted my time with the last lap. I wonder why they
don't do the disection and just waste our time. Mine is now worse than
it was before I had my 1st lap. Do you live any where near Michigan? I
am going to look into another Doctor.
Thanks
Stacie
