I have always wanted to be an airline pilot my whole life, but one thing is stopping me from being confident, the sad part is nothing else interests me besides this. The problem is i have had an AVM brain surgery when i was in 8th grade and after that experienced stress (pseudo seizures). They came negative on all EEGs. I had experienced some memory loss and i lost ALOT of memory and like didn't know who my parents were. However this all came back within 3 months of recovery and today I am back to lifting heavy weights and playing college golf. I dont know if the AME will say no to me for my first class medical and I am scared that my dream will be sabotaged. My EEGs were perfect like the doctor never saw anything so balanced before. I have recovered every bit of memory and I am living a normal healthy life style and dying to become an airline pilot. however before i start i wanna know if I can still achieve this dream. One thing for sure no problems occurred ever in term of cognitive abilities. I am very normal and love lifting weights and live golf but more importantly love flying more.

Thanks
Please help me i am so desperate.
 
Agreed. Go see an AME. You may have to get a waiver from OKC but the answer is always no until you try. Not being able to get a medical is NOT the end of the world either. There are plenty of important jobs in aviation which do not require a medical. Even if you can't fly professionally you should be able to still fly under the new BasicMed rules.

If you are serious about pursuing aviation as a career, and it appears that you are, contact Dr. Bruce Chien in Peoria, IL for a consult.

If anyone can help, he is likely to be one of them.
 
Anyone know who the best AME is in New Jersey?
