I am here to clear out some confusion regarding shunt.
My father who is 65 years old, diagnosed with NPH long time ago (around 10 years) But out of his fear he never wanted to do the shunt. Now his symptoms are getting worse. Walking imbalance increased, urine urgency and headache. We are from Bangladesh, went to Thailand for his treatment. Doctor suggested to do the shunt. However he is 95kg which is obesity. Doctor told us to take two/three months and during this time he suggested to take Munjaro for weight loss. Then come back aftee 2/3 months to do the shunt. My father is pre-diabetic, no hypertension. But I am genuinely concerned about the safety. Is the shunt operation safe for his age and weight?
