Fran,

Did the young lady in the video have any other surgeries?

I have no idea BUT once she gets me a before video - then you will get a better idea of what she walked into the O.R. with.

I agree the "before" video will be much more informative than a list of previous surgeries. Just because someone has had 3, 4 or 5 surgeries does not mean they are any better off from those surgeries! Many times there are residual deformities that persist and the long-term "after" is not even distinguishable from the "before"!

Hey everybody! My name is Emily and I am the 18 year old in the video. Francine has basically summed everything up. I am working on finding the "Before" video. Dr. Nath has both official videos. He said that he was going to post them on his website. I haven't seen them yet though. I will let you know when he does. But feel free to ask any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

Sorry 2 more things...
I only found out about Dr. Nath about a year ago. When I was younger my parents took me to all the doctors and they said the only thing to help me was physical therapy. By the time I was 11 or 12 therapy was no longer helping, so I stopped. Then one of my relatives stumbled across Dr. Nath's website and told me about it. So we looked into it and about 3 months later I had surgery with Dr. Davino in Houston.
I have never had any other surgeries. This was my first and most likely only surgery.
