VERGITO - new surgery type
Has anyone heard about this surgery yet? Every time I've seen it, I keep thinking it's supposed to be spelled "vertigo"...LOL.
I know of one person so far on OH that is scheduled to have this procedure in the beginning of April and I will be following her journey faithfully to learn more, but how cool is it that there are so many choices out there for everyone?! Of course, the insurance companies aren't as quick to pay for them, but that's another story.
