Title: 5/7 boost
Post by: Brewers7 on October 21, 2012, 08:26:39 am

I am going back to Baltimore fot the procedure in December.  A branch of the 5th nerve will be connected to a branch of the 7th nerve end to end.  Outpatient or something close.  It should improve my smile in 6 to 8 months.  They are also going to try to get me approved for a BAHA.  I have a Transear now and it has been helpful. My insurance initially turned me down for a BAHA.  I AM VERY EXCITED!

Yes Kay.  Dr Byrne will do the surgery. I am trying to get it all scheduled before the end of the year, since I have met my deductible.
