Tracey, I had the same operation when I was 21 years old. At the time I was having 60 -100 grand mals EVERY day and was not allowed out of the hospital bed, not even to go to the bathroom. The surgery was the best thing for me. I was unable to live any kind of life the way I was so the decision was easy for me - I decided that living in a hospital bed with the rails up at all times was not really living and the operation HAD TO be better. At this time, I was really a guinea pig - they knew nothing about what this would really do to me except help alleviate seizures I thank God I had a very good doctor with a very steady hand to do this. I would definitely make sure your Doc has done this before. You have that option since I know for a fact that it's been around for 36 years. Another wrench thrown into account on my decision was the fact that I never had an aura of any kind - I was just out cold on the street, sidewalk, in traffic...you get the picture. I'll be praying for you. J Ryan
