RE: Please respond about surgery

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

I can truly say that my decompression surgery with Dr. Bolognese and

Dr. Milhorat was very easy. I had a failed decompression performed by

another surgeon and that turned into a miserable situation. So, when

the day finally arrived for Dr. Bolognese and Dr. Milhorat to revise

the first surgery, I was the happiest person around. I knew they were

going to help me. My life until that day had become impossible. I had

a non stop headache and I was hearing oceans roaring and whooshing

noises constantly. They never stopped because of all the pressure in

my head. I could not really do much of anything except hold my head

and pray for someone to help me. I had a young child then and I was

just useless to him. Other doctors did not even knew where to begin

with me but for Dr. Milhorat, I was an easy case.

I awoke in the recovery room from Dr. Milhorat's and Dr. Bolognese's

revision and I knew immediately that they had already helped me. Even

before I was fully awake, I knew that the noises in my ear were

improving. I know everyone loves the doctor who helped them and I am

no exception. To me, Dr. Milhorat is the greatest person I have ever

met. There are not even enough words of praise for Dr. Bolognese. I

love them endlessly. A few days after my decompression, Dr. Milhorat

came to see me and he said he did the best possible job he could do

for me. He is the sweetest man I ever met. When I see Dr. Milhorat, I

cry because he put hope back in my life.

I had a shunt placed then as well and that scared me more than the

decompression. I soon realized that there was nothing to fear. There

really is nothing to worry about at all. They are so skilled at these

procedures and the team they have in the operating room is so

exceptional that you will feel at ease instantly. To me, they are the

best in the world.

I have not had fusion surgery so I cannot discuss it. But if they

ever felt I needed it, I would do it because I know they would do a

beautiful job.

Good luck and do not worry about this. You will do fine and you will

feel so much better.
