I am new here and just made my appt. at Avanti for 3/9. I spoke with Dr. C because he said Ian was on vacation and he was helping out. He asked a few simple questions and then told me to go ahead and schedule an appt.
Could anyone tell me what the intake process is like once you arrive? Are there any drug interactions that they would be concerned about? I dont take anything except HRT and HCG. Otherwise healthy, young and in shape. Im trying to make sure that i dont go down there and then find out im not a good candidate.
Also, can anyone tell me how long i need to rest after the procedure? I will have 4 days of rest then will need to walk several miles per day after that. Nothing physical other than walking.
If you see Chapter 5 (page 11 of the PDF) in their
2023 Brochure
, you'll see what qualifies as a good candidate.
You will receive lidocaine injections for numbing, and (presumably) receive antibiotics after treatment. In rare occasions a sedative may be administered if you are still very uneasy (akin to what Dentists offer to calm patients), of course with your consent.
If you're relatively healthy I suspect you'll be just fine - these non-surgical procedures are outpatient and typically don't interfere with the vast physiological functions of the body.
