"You deserve to feel better"

In one of my videos, I shared these words that resonated with many of you.

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I'm Barry, a 60+ year old guy from the Northeast United States, boasting a lifetime of activity and sportsmanship. From my days as a high school football player, where my tackles were so fierce they'd leave my arms numb, to anchoring my varsity wrestling team for all four years, and later on, competing in USTA Tennis at levels 3.5 and 4.0 – including a memorable journey to the USTA National Championships – I've always embraced the thrill of the game.

However, life threw a curveball my way. In September of 2021, I underwent a multi-level ACDF surgery, followed by Jugular Vein Decompression in October 2023 due to a Venous Outflow Obstruction.

But adversity breeds resilience, and from my recovery emerged a newfound mission. I launched my YouTube Channel as a platform to "Pay it Forward," offering insights and guidance for those embarking on similar surgical journeys. My goal? To provide a beacon of hope and understanding, because “you deserve to feel better.”

Here on my website, you'll find a collection of resources chronicling my journey of discovering I needed these procedures, and my recovery. Under each surgery's section, you'll discover links to my YouTube channel, where I delve into the intricacies of my pre and post-operative experiences.

Whether you're seeking answers, solace, or simply a deeper understanding of these procedures, I hope my story serves as a guiding light on your path to healing.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Warm regards,

Barry
