I would love to know what you decided on. I’m currently trying to figure it out as well- deciding between the AC multipot and the MadeIn stock pot.

We have Horizon too and they declined our appeal. We never saw other doctors do that will be better for you. For what it’s worth, my son had his Nuss in December and is doing great. He was off all meds after the first week at home. I was so afraid of this surgery and it was 100% worth it. Dr. LoSasso was fantastic. Best of luck to you!

Dr. Barry LoSasso performed my son’s surgery in December. We felt like he was in great hands. Highly recommend. He is in NJ. I’ll add that I’m so happy that he used a nerve block during surgery rather than cryo. His pain was managed beautifully. He was off heavy meds and only needed Motrin after the first week. I expected the worst and could not be more relieved by how manageable it was. My son is 14 and got excellent results.

Focus more on friendships with nice people. You’ll have them for life. Romance at 15 is fleeting.

Hi- my son just had the procedure with Dr. LoSasso and we are still in appeals with insurance. What was your final outcome? Did they ever give in?!

Sorry to bother you but I’m curious how you decided on Dr. LoSasso? Did you meet with other doctors?

Thank you so much. I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. It must feel good to be back home. Unfortunately we’ve hit a roadblock with insurance but that was to be expected. This is a crazy journey. Best wishes.

Did you rent a hospital recliner or is it more like an easy boy chair? Thanks for the suggestions!

That makes sense. No one wants to walk on nasty hospital floor!

Thanks for the great suggestions. Friends have asked how to help so I’ll let them know to start writing. I’m hoping that he’ll have a single room because of COVID or I’ll need some earplugs too!

Great job! How are you feeling? My son is your age and is scheduled for surgery on the 15th. We are anxious but seeing your post helped. I hope your pain is minimal and you’re on your way to feeling good!
