Has anyone had surgery after their MoyaMoya surgery?  I'm curious, because Holly is scheduled for surgery this month on her hand, and I just wanted to know any precautions that others took before surgery.

Thanks

Yeah I've had other surgeries after my MM surgery.
The only thing you have to be aware of is the anaesthetic. There is a particular way that it has to be administered to MM patients, and it is a good idea to get the anaesthetist who is doing the new surgeries to talk with the one who did your daughters MM surgeries. I was lucky enough to have my anaesthetist along with me for my caesarean for my second child (phoned him up and asked him if he would like to be part of my neonatal team and he applied to the hospital I was going to, with full blessing from my obgyn. ) The other surgeries I had, I got the anaesthetists to liase with him beforehand and the surgeons knew of my MM problems. (I had grommets put in my ears, then had them removed and also had a boob job and a baby!)
Good luck

yup i agree make sure the anasthesia dr. knows about the mm and then they know what to expect.  i had my mm surgery  then exactly 1 week later i had major knee surgery and the anasthesia dr was awesome, i had i after effects at all.  i talked to the ortho prior and asked her who was the ana dr. and she made sure she had the best on and yes he was good.  good luck!!!
