Is Precice 2 still available?

Edit Post

Hey guys, I have my Stryde surgery booked for July 7th. Giotikas says that all the issues with Stryde will be solved by May, and Nuvasive says that they will probably be solved before summer. However, this is not 100% guaranteed. I have no issues delaying the surgery a few months, but if I don't do it (at worst) in September, I would not be able to do it this year. My question is, in the worst case scenario,  would Precice 2 be available? I have seen contradictory reports. The Nuvasive document says ALL precice devices are on hold. However, some doctors say that Precice 2 is available. Does anyone know?

Thanks

Precice is not weighbearing, so you have to be on crutches until there is enough consolidation. With Stryde, you are walking even in lenghthening phase. Stryde has quicker recovery and is definitely the best choice, I only want to be ready for the worst case scenario: Stryde not being available in summer.

Taking into account that you don't walk for a long time, you may have muscle atrophy issues with Precice 2, even thougt they will be solved in the long run. The difference is time mostly: you may have a "regular" life in 4 months with STRYDE, and 7 months with Precice

Yes of course, I was just trying to say that Precice takes way longer than Stryde. Anyway, worst case scenario, I'd take it if it is available

My surgery is in July, and Giotikas says I will have Stryde by then. If he's wrong, I can wait until september... If not, I would take Precice. Of course Stryde is better, but I really can't wait another year man, too many years not living because of height dysphoria. Anyway, are we 100% certain Precice is still available?

Luckily I work online, and my girlfriend is coming with me as well. Of course, Stryde is much better, I just hope we have some certainty soon

I think you should go for it then and I wish you best luck giotikas.i don't think you're making a mistake either- just a choice. And yeah you got a lucky girl take care of you. 😍

Well, Giotikas told me today again that they are confident the issue should be solved before July so... let's hope he is right.
