Ron,
I had right temporal lobe surgery 5.5 years ago treating my complex partial.
The severity and frequency of my seizures have decreased although have not
gone completely. I am still on medication and normally I don't get any more
seizures. However there are things that trigger seizures. It is anxiety,
stomach sickness.

I did not regret the surgery as no medication was able to control my
seizures. I am aware that with time seizures can reoccure, but for now I am
ok.

God bless you with your surgery.

I had right temporal lobe surgery 3yrs ago.After trying various meds with no
success,my neurologist recommended surgery as the next option.I still have
seizures,but not as many as before surgery.

I wasn't in a great deal of pain from surgery.I had the odd headache in the
first few days after,but they settled down.I am not too concerned about the
seizures returning because I feel if I didn't go ahead with the operation,I
would probably be worse off than before.If I knocked surgery back,I could
have lived the rest of my life not knowing if I had a chance of feeling
better.
                                     All the best....Brett
