drooping eyelids? Before you have surgery, I think you need to
consider it might be Myasthenia Gravis.
I'd call the PN doctor and discuss this. The eyelids are the first signs in some patients. And your age is the common time for males.
Autoimmune issues, also connect to PN, and myasthenia both!
There are tests for this, blood work, etc. When was your last EMG? And I'd post at our Myasthenia forum:

Are you having weakness? Choking on food? Do you see better after a "rest"?
I think you need another opinion before having this surgery. Correction can come from medications like Mestinon.
