I can only tell you that I am 8 weeks post-op from Dr. Reich's surgery, and still feeling better every week. I doubt there is anyone on the board who could compare the two, only share our experiences.
If Suzanne is out there, she had a successful surgery with Dr. Redwine a couple months before me. We taked a month agao, and she was still feeling great...you might try finding her on the quilt or in the archives.
Love,
