Although we are yet to hear from the docs at TCI but its almost decided that I need a second surgery. Saw 2 more neuros yesterday making the opinion count to 10( 8 from neuros and 2 from panel of docs) and all beleive I need a surgery ASAP

So we are yet to finalise a date and choose a doc such that it cause minimum loss to my studies and I am able to enjoy my brothers wedding

Well the doc is advising me wait as they re already overburdened with work.

I'm happy to hear that you have made a decision on who to see...I am sorry to hear that your first surgery was motivated by something other than your best interests in mind. I hate to think of all the suffering you have been put through unneccessarily.

How long of a wait do they think you will have? I'm glad to hear your DR is advising you to watch your symptoms...that is a sign that he cares and is working with you.

Keep us posted!

Went to AIIMS today. Its largest govt. hospital in India with best docs at very very reasonable cost.

But its human flooded. This time we have decided to get operated here as in govt hospital profit motives won't be involved because of which my first surgery was a failure.

Doc advised me to monitor my symptoms
