Hi Rebecaa,
I've had epilepsy the past 35 years. Seizures never under control till I had a LTL (left temporal lobectomy) 4 years ago. So far, I'm still seizure free (smile)!
For my surgery I was in the hospital 1 week. Couldn't work for the next 4 weeks. The worked 2 weeks 1/2 days. I couldn't play tennis for 3 months. If you a told you are a candidate, then you can decide yes or no. Keep in touch with us! Let us know what the Drs. decide. Eager to hear back from you. Take care, keep a smile on your face!

> Hi, I am new to the group, 32 year old woman living day to day with epilepsy. For the past year and a half I have been through test after test to see if I am eligible for the surgery. I am on the last leg of this race and it is coming soon. The Doctor called Monday to tell me the team of Doctors will be reviewing my MEG, the last test, and I will know something next week. I try to stay calm but anxiety and excitement seem to over rule. Has anyone had the surgery? Where was your seizure activity from, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, right or left? What were your results? Positives and negatives. How long was your hospital stay? And your recovery? So many questions and I feel like no answer could be thorough enough. Thank you in advance for your help and answers.
