I am having my surgery at Northwestern University in Chicago May 8th. Does anyone have any experience they can share about having their surgery at this hospital? I am not sure if talking about specific hospitals or doctors is allowed or not so someone please let me know if I can’t. If it’s not, maybe I can speak with some via a private message or email and I can provide you with the name of my doctor
Hi there, good luck with your decompression - please take it easy after operation - do not rush back to work wait at least 3 months .... I am sorry I am from the UK, however they are similar - all over the world - the main thing is make sure the surgeon doing your surgery have a good success rate and have done lots of it...bring plenty of water (cordial) ..DONT GO HOME RUSHING..if you still unwell - make sure you do not feel the pressure..any longer on your brain / neck/ head...but let us know how are you getting on - GOD bless and Good Luck
Had brain surgery at UAB, and like most patients who have had the decompression, symptoms come back. Then went the Institute de Chiari in Barcelona, Spain for 45 minute outpatient surgery. This is what saved my life and got me out of bed after 2-1/2 years. Check out their website.
