I am also 29 and had the surgery 6wks ago. As far as the trigeminal neuralgia its gone, for me its been successful. I do suggest getting help, i experienced extreme nausea, headaches and felt tired quite a bit. If your kids require lots of care then you wont be able to cope really well if you can get help from family i strongly suggest it.
