Surgery with Nick Boeree 8/31/11
 

Hello,
I am scheduled for surgery with Nick Boeree on 8/31/11. Most of my info is in my signature. I am very active, and am hoping that this surgery will restore me to my normal lifestyle I have had to shelf for the past few months. Love yoga, hiking, anything outdoors. I am having 2 level ADR, C5-6 and C6-7, with M6-Cs. If anyone has had this surgery with Dr. Boeree, I would love to hear how you are managing post-op, especially if you are a year or more out. I am getting more nervous as the surg date approaches, but I also cannot wait for relief.

Thanks!

Lizard, sorry for the late reply. Have you taken some time to review the post-operative outcome forum?

Lots there, over 500 post-op surgeries now...many have gone overseas and more recently to the UK...

I will keep you in my prayers.

Thanks
 

Harrison,
Thanks, I will do that.

Thanks for the support, Christine! I really do appreciate it...

Sent you a private message.

Not a year out, not even a month out, from a different surgery, but wanted to stop by and say good luck. I am a hiking-biking-mountain-lover from the Rockies, and I understand how frustrating these types of injuries can make it when you can't do those things you love so much anymore. Good luck with your upcoming surgery, and here's to a speedy recovery!

Thank you...
 

Thanks JStuckey and Azhure for the kind words....I hope your surgery goes well JS and hope you continue to improve Azhure!

Lizard,

The poster that goes by the name "Tyler" on this forum had a double cervical M6 (C4/5, C5/6) with Dr Boeree a year or so ago. Two months later he was mountain climbing in the Himalayas. I had a double cervical M6 (C3/4, C6/7) with Dr Clavel in Spain, and was able to run a half-marathon three months later. Our results are not typical, but you do have a very good chance of an excellent outcome with Dr Boeree and two cervical M6's.

Good luck, Jeff

Thank you, Jeff. I have confidence in Dr. Boeree from our consult by phone and also the positive feedback I have read about him on this forum. Also have talked to Marti Conger by phone x 2 and she has really been very helpful and reassuring. I did send Tyler a PM to ask how he was presently, now that he is 1yr out, but haven't heard back.

Surgery Next Week!
 

My surgery is next week, and I leave for England 8/28. I will keep everyone posted on my progress post-op when I return home!
