Look like I will be becoming a zipperhead! The ns said that all my symptoms are caused by the Chiari when every other Dr. said that wasn't the case! The ns said that it is more risky for me because I'm over weight but when I asked if I should lose weight first he said that it would be better to get the surgery first then lose the weight! I am still a little in shock but I feel that surgery is my best hope at getting my life back!
April,
I am happy for you. You sound very positive. I think you made a very important point..." We all want to get our lives Back". I hope & pray this surgery will allow that to happen for you !!!

PS...Being Zipperhead isn't all bad.. It can actually start some interesting conversations. ;-)
April,
That's great. It sounds like you have a good doctor. That's the most important thing. Hopefully you will get it over with and be on the road to losing weight and feeling a lot better. Let us know when it is and how you are doing.

Good luck!I hope your surgery is successful in alleviating all your symptoms!
Good luck! :) I'm waiting for my surgery date to be set too! Hopefully we both have our lives back soon!
