Thank you all for your responses. This is something that I have worried about all along. I'm having mine done at a military hospital so my Neurologist and Primary Care Manager are all on board with this. Years ago when I first thought about this it was my Neurologist that referred me, I change my mind then. But now I find myself using a wheelchair primarily and find that my stomach gets in my way as well as it causes me balance issues. This time I was referred by my PCM team and I told my newer Neurologist. Everyone is on board. Interesting enough the only person that brought it up was during my mental health briefing. He commented that it may be difficult to find a surgeon willing to take on this additional complication. I meet with the surgeon next week. Thanks again.
