There has been a lot of reference to those having surgery. Can someone(s) explain what makes a person a candidate to have surgery? Is it the number of seizures one has, the location in their brain that they begin, inability to gain control using medications or what? I keep reading about these surgery's and don't know where to start to find out if it would work for me. How does insurance cover these? Is it considered elective? Is it beyond experimental. What are the risks? Could you worsen the level and type of seizures you currently have? Do you need to be at a major medical facility to have this surgery or are more and more hospitals capable of performing it?
How much time must one take or have available to complete this process and continue back to work?
I know these are a lot of questions. I'm sure there are some good WEB sites to explain it and I confess I have not looked at them yet. I'd like to get the group's opinion and recommendations on this process. Thanks.
