If you care to share, it will be very helpful to me. I will be ongoing this surgical procedure within a week to 10 days? Any thoughts or comments for me, would be extremely helpful for me!

I dont think its safe for your brain personally I thought this was the old school way of treating bipolar. I thought5 they banned this kind of treatment quess I was wrong.
Why1 did your doctor want you to get this done?
It sounds not very safe but I never heard anyone talk about having it done.
Get sound advice on it or research it on google priot to doing it ok.
