Forgot to mention I’m relatively healthy with no other health concerns.

@mstanhello I’m in the same process right now looking at all the options. My surgeon said the neo is kind of like a corvette, sporty but higher maintenance where as the conduit is like Toyota Camry; dependable/reliable low maintenance.
I’m an active 67 year old me and my wife exercise HIIT, strength, bicycle etc. 3-4 times week, love to travel, motorcycle trips etc. With my reading, it seems like the conduit allows me to continue all these activities with little trouble and as I continue to age, if someone needs to care for me, it will be a simple process.
If anyone has actual life experience, I’d love to hear about it.
