I need some help! I was diagnosed with Pseudo Tumor over a year ago, my dr. keeps telling me it’s due to my weight. I have had spinal fluid drained 6 times and now they are discussing a shunt. I want to know the details. Is it a major surgery? Where do they go in to put it in? What kind of hospital stay is involved? I have two small children and being “sick”” isn’t much of an option. Please send any feedback you have. Leeanne
