My daughter is having her pituitary gland removed. She has Gigantism like Andre The Giant.
Update!
She has been out of surgery for less then 10 hours and is doing great. (for someone that brain surgery for breakfast) Most of the pituitary gland was removed. The doctors are great and the jokes made waiting a little better. Thanks for the support today. I have talked her into an AMA when tomorrow.
Update 2.
We will do the AMA tomorrow. Today was a long day full of hospital stuff. no real time to do one.
Look for /u/brainsurgerygirl AMA
Super Mega Update.

We are still trying to get verification that will take some time working with the doctors to make sure not to break privacy/ HIPAA.
