Hello

If your doctor has suggested a second surgery and you are worried

about the dizziness problem again maybe if you mention it to your

doctor he may be able to prescribe some medicine for it. I had a

similar thing happen after my first surgery I was throwing up for

two days solid and was unable to get out of bed as my head was

spinning around extremly fast, we contacted my local GP and he said

I had labyrinthitis and prescribed me with Prochlorperazine which

worked a treat.

I do really think that you should have the second surgery though, I

was supposed to have this done 6-12 months after my first op maybe

if they had done it sooner I wouldn't have two recurrances...

Anyway Good Luck Zoe.
