The stem cells will be from adipose (fat tissue) most likely my abdomen, if they can't get enough there, there's always a little lower on the back side .
They need to collect a large amount of stem cells for the procedure. Supposedly we have a lot in our fat cells. The whole procedure is suppose to take around 5 hours. It sounds somewhat similar to what you described, except the stem cells are going to be injected directly into my damaged nerves, (peroneal &tibial,not sure if they will hit more or not)
I could not find any success stories exclusively for peripheral nerves either. My hope is that it is because not a lot of people have tried it.
The procedure seems pretty safe, I'm thinking the only thing I have to lose is $$, which doesn't thrill me......but if it DOES work, there is no price I wouldn't pay to have my old life back.
