What happens 10 or 20 years post op???

What happens 10 or 20 years post op???

I am scheduled for chiari surgery March 21st in Milwaukee with Dr. Dan Heffez.  I cant seem to find people that have had the surgery years ago and how they are doing.  From what I read online its mostly people that are a few months to a few years post op and they are either fine or not fine.  Im wondering if 20 years from now if I will just fall apart and I will have extreme pain, dizziness, etc...and then the surgeries start all over again.  Also has anyone had Dr. Heffez and how did it go?

  Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.

It is hard to say how we will do just  post op let alone a few yrs post op...I know a few have been on here that were 10 yrs post op and were fine for yrs and then they had an issue where symptoms cropped back up....it is possible for scar tissue to form and cause some of the same symptoms to reappear.....

May I ask what symptoms u have now?
