Hi rcphx, could you tell me where you got your surgery done with the METRXII system? I thought that it was hard to find a doctor who uses it. I'm glad to hear that you have great success with it....much better to have a tiny incision than a much larger one. Improvements are coming, slowly but surely! Just think of where we'll be in ten years or so.
Please try to comply with doctor's orders  I know it is tough though.
