Cerebullar Ptosis (Brain Slumping)

[imfrustrated1978]

WHo here has had experience with this?  Does it keep getting worse?  Can I wait a little longer to have the surgery to repair?


I am scheduled for slumping repair surgery in 2 weeks.  I just now found out they want a lump sum of money (towards my non met deductible) up front.  I don't have it.  Yes, I could borrow it and go that much further in debt but I really don't want to.

Also, I have a senior in High School and the next 2 months is graduation, senior trip, prom, college stuff...  I kinda just want to say "Hey, let's wait until October or November when everything is done and I have time to save some more money"  But I don't want to make myself worse in the long run.

  Hi,...I have not had this issue personally but it really depends on how bad your slumping is if you can wait longer...if you have compression of the brain stem, then you should not hold off for too long....speak with your Dr to see if waiting until after graduation is an ok idea.

Not sure you should wait that long...I would think first thing after the graduation may be the longest you can wait...but again ask your Dr.....
