    I think if it were as easy as sticking a laser tipped catheter up your butt there would be a bit more news about the procedure as well as patient success being reported but, who knows, it's still early on. As I watch the various videos on their website it's all very overtly commercialized to me: the simple animation of a laser melting scar tissue, bulges, protrusions; the attractive young nurse; then the woman out of the wheelchair and lifting her grandchild into her arms, swinging her in a field of flowers etc, etc. The usual. Reads a bit hokey for sure.

    The procedure makes sense in concept, I'm just not sure how effective or safe it is in practice. Hopefully more real-patient reports will surface.

    I think this may be a for profit only procedure, makes you feel better but will not last.

    They also have been calling me and asking if they can help me, just leaving messages at this point.

    Keep moving forward
