Hi, I had my surgery recently as well. I can say that since then I am a new person. The surgery removed all the side effects I was suffering from. I was in the hospital for about a week and then I came home. In my case, the tumor was large and also caused me visual disturbances. I can say that since then I feel much better.

I had the surgery last summer, and I spent 3-4 days in the PICU and 2-3 in a regular hospital room. The surgery gave me back my freedom. My symptoms were weight gain, exhaustion, irritability, blurry vision, and awful headaches that would keep me in bed for days.
