@annie1 I have an advocate from Premia that has helped me. From what I have read, the procedure is likely to fail with osteoporosis due to the screws not holding....at least that is my understanding. I did have osteoporosis, but I have been on Forteo for two years and my spine has greatly improved. Hope you get some answers soon.

@annie1 Have you been able to get them to call you back yet? Otherwise, emailing is probably the easier way if contacting them. It seemed to work best for me when I contacted them with questions a couple years ago.

Hi, I came on here to see what kind of info I could find on anyone that might have had the TOPS procedure, which I am looking into. I saw your post about you having osteoporosis. I have Spondylolesthesis, and I'm very leery of having a fusion, (supposedly the TOPS is reversible and fusion is not) so I thought this may be a better option for me. The surgeon I saw says I am a candidate for it, although I have some osteoporosis, he would put me on some medication for approximately a month or more to strengthen my bones and be able to proceed with the procedure. I am just worried about any side effects this medication may have and hopefully will not make me sick. I don't know how severe your osteoporosis is? Just thought I'd let you know. I still am not sure if I will go ahead with this procedure. We shall see.
I have reversed my osteoporosis in the past, I have not been consistent in the last 2 years and some of it has come back.
