Questions about IT band release/gastro release/nerve decompression

Edit Post

I heard Janet Conway preemptively does IT band release and nerve decompression to prevent problems in the future. And I think Dr. Assayag does this too.

1. I thought to myself- well fk, it makes sense to me to loosen things up off the bat during the first surgery, should the patient ask to pay for IT band release/gastro release/nerve decompression upfront to be done during the surgery?

2. Are there other extra surgical moves the patient should request and pay for up front?

3. For doctors like Parihar and Giotikas, how much extra does it cost to request this and is it a bad idea to pressure them to do it during the first surgery?

Ah.... so basically Giotikas patients are not told whether there will be nerve decompression and he decides on the operating table?

Thanks!!! What about nerve decompression and gastro release? I heard Janet Conway does it and I'm afraid of nerve damage (either from not doing or from doing it I'm not sure which is more dangerous)

Oh hmm... so basically I'm trying to figure out if I need to budget in more money to pay for nerve decompression or releases upfront and how much they cost for different doctors. But it sounds like Giotikas and Parihar both don't charge extra for it?

I will also try calling Giotikas's office again, I was up at an odd time and managed to call when the Greece office was open despite the time difference and they said they'd email.
