Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Suzi, (sorry if I haven't spelled your name right} you have been struggling for surgery a long time and, You posted that your mom has had many of the surgeries. I am wondering why she has had to have many surgeries. If a person only has Chiari, and the surgeon is qualified. Having a decompression with dura patch should be the only surgery needed, unless there are complications or your mom had other problems that needed to be taken care of surgically. I don't understand. I have not personally heard anything good or bad about your surgeon, but, that doesn't mean anything. I know there are many doctors out there who are qualified to care for a Chiari patient that I don't know about. I do know that TCI in New York or the Chiari clinic in Colorado are the only two places my family will go, should we have to have any additional treatment. Many Prayers for all, Judy Marie ____________________________________________________________ Click to get information on the ultimate Bahamas relaxation vacation. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2241/fc/Ioyw6i4uFHP3Qzq8C6Ye3PDxPEMtKbABj\ 8L6BQfz16pUmgjqNtXYB7/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
