Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Deshea, Ironically, I JUST read an e-mail from a mom who took her daughter to Philly to inquire about the VBS and because her curve is too large for the stapling, Dr. Betz is doing a VEPTR with, as she put it " one titanium rib " . This must be the same surgery that's mentioned in the article. If I learn anything more I will post. We are seeing Dr. Betz on 2/19. If there is any interest, let me know and I'll ask him for more information. > > heather, > > i know that carmell or jacki have probably responded off-board, but i wanted to mention that there was a thread on the veptr discussion board recently about this. > > here's the link: > > http://veptr.com/megabbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=3092 & posts=22 > > good luck! > deshea > > ---- Original message ---- > >Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 10:22:05 -0500 (EST) > >From: heather@... > >Subject: low profile veptr > >To: infantile_scoliosis > > > > Is anyone out there familiar with the low profile > > veptr?

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 , I know a mom who's 2yr old just had this VEPTR II implanted last week. I'm sure she would be happy to share her experiences with you. He was originally implanted with 2 pelvic rods last August, but one kept migrating. So, last week they replaced one side with the VEPTR II. I haven't heard how her son is doing since the surgery - she has 3 little ones that keep her busy - but I'm sure she would be happy to email you. If you go to the VEPTR.com website, her son is Adam. You can find her there. My best, Carmell heather@... wrote: Is anyone out there familiar with the low profile veptr? It's on the option list for Olivia and I need to learn more about it.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks Deshea & Carmell, I am trying to find out as much as I can before we get a surgery date. I'll post all that I find out about the veptr 2. Still have so many questions for Dr.'s & D'Astous. > , > > I know a mom who's 2yr old just had this VEPTR II implanted last week. > I'm sure she would be happy to share her experiences with you.
