Hi Toni
Sorry to hear about your problem - hope it can get sorted fast. I think the person you are thinking of is Nanny Og. She has a shunt fitted and was referred for WLS via neurologist?

Yeah that's what I've got ... It's been found because my optical discs are swollen so the doc said I've probably had it years which makes perfect sense because I've had symptoms for years with out knowing or being bothered Xx

Hi, I also have benign intercranial hypertension BIH. Or should I say did have! I'm 2 mth post op and lost 5 stone. I no longer have symptoms! My BIH was managed with tablets and lumbar punctures to reduce pressure. But weight loss was defiantly the answer so fingers crossed u get ur op soon! Good luck! Am xx

Toni the weight loss surgery will sort it out. I think one of the main causes is obesity. Get that sorted and you will improve. Hugs. xxxxx

Well what a relief they found it and can now treat it. You'll probably feel like a completely new person once it's fixed. Try and think positivley Lovely. Very hard I know but we're all thinking of you and it's so amazing what they can do now days. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Love Kate x
