Guest guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'm Suzzie, I am 23 years old and I just had the decompression on June 20th (Friday) at UC by Dr. Boggan. My surgery went wonderful, it only took 2 & 1/2 hours and after I woke I was remarkably aware of everything. I already notice a big change in my life with all my symptoms. I have not had any " drop attacks " , the only headaches Ive had is from the surgery site.I finally feel like ME!!! I have spent 23 years, my whole life, feeling sick and depressed, never finding an answer and all the doctors and nurses treating me like a drug addict.Surprisingly the UC staff was great and very caring.Dr. Boggan told my family that he had removed a certain bone in the back of my head and he said that my flow started to flow very nicely. I woke feeling a little drowsy but overall I was OK.I am no longer having " drop attacks " , swallowing problems are ,minimized, I could actually eat a nice sized meal and not feel like I had eaten the fridge, No more brain fog, I can think very clearly and my slurring speech isn't as bad as it used to be.So over all I feel A LOT better and I am so glad I had the decompression!!! Thanks for all your prayers and terrific support, you have all helped me out and made me feel good about having the surgery. If anyone has any questions please email me and I will answer as good as I can. Again thank you to all of you!!! May you be continually reminded of the many blessings that we are given..especially when times get rough. Suzzie - Nevada City, CA CM!
