MGH Retrosigmoid Surgery experiences

<< < (2/2)

New girl:
Congrats on the little one!   :)

I had retrosigmoid with Dr. Barker (MGH) and Dr. Lee (MEEI) in September 2011 for an AN.  I spent one night in the ICU and the one night in their neurosurgery unit.  I was lucky that I did not have any post op complications and I still have most of my hearing.  I do have some minor balance issues when I am extremely fatigued.  I do find that getting in better physical shape helps a lot.  I have constant tinnitus but I also had this pre-surgery.  After I was diagnosed I spent hours on this forum reading other people's experiences so that I was as prepared as possible for all outcomes.  Barker and McKenna are definitely a good choice - you are in great hands!   I went back to work after 2 months.  I think I really could have used another month off.   Let me know if you need any more specific info.  I cant believe it has been three years after my surgery.
