Hi my name is Dawn and my hippocampus and amygadala were involved and were removed along with my right temporal lobe. That was 22 years ago and I've been seizure free since and never regretted having it done. You may experience some short term memory loss but you learn to cope with it. Best wishes!! Dawn

I had right temporal lobe lobectomy in 1987. I was seisure free for 10 years. It has come back now but in a total diffferent way. As long as your speech in on the opposite side it is well worth it. The procedures have gotten much easier now then they were in the 80's. The only thing that happen to me is I lost a lot of memory but it was a small price to pay, at the time of the surgery I had grand mal and petite. Good luck.
