Have you been back to your surgeon or gone to a neurologist to get checked out?

I have not been back. The neurosurgeon who did the surgeries is quite a ways from home but within driving distance. They said I could go back to my local neurosurgeon so I finally made an appointment. BUT a couple of days before I was supposed to go they called and said he doesn't want me as a patient and to go back to the other one. I am trying to find someone closer who will take me on.
I didn't realize that surgery could fail. It can be successful, work for a while with symptoms returning at anytime or it can fail completely.
For me it's going to be really tough because I got laid off and lost my health insurance.
