Any Optic Nerve Meningioma Patients Who've Had Surgery?

Since my posting on 11/17, I have met with a neurosurgeon at Mayo in Jacksonville. I was not at all comfortable nor liked the neurosurgeon I met in my city and immediately made an appointment at Mayo. I am scheduled for surgery at Mayo on 12/14/18 and feel very confident with my surgeon and staff. This is not the best time of year to do surgery, ie, holidays, but as my eyesight lessens I am starting to have slight balance problems it is time to do the surgery. Dr. Riemer answered all my questions ( I had prepared my questions before my appointment.) He has scheduled me for several appointments with other specialists before the surgery which adds to my confidence. If anyone has any advise or ideas I need to be aware of please let me know.
