Asked By:NurseDee87 in Morton, Illinois

2019 I had a VP shunt placed for Idiopathic intracranial hypertension due to obesity. I’ve lost the weight and my neurologist cleared me for tummy tuck & willing to provide shunt roadmap how can I find a surgeon to perform the procedure? Any suggestions? Should I ask to get the shunt removed?
