Hi Kate,
I had a temporal lobectomy in 2003 for my complex-partial epilepsy, and it's great to hear that you're doing so well. As for myself, it has nearly completely taken away my seizures, however, it has left me with some emotional issues to deal with, such as wild mood swings, being highly emotional, and even some sexual dysfuction. Considering you have your lobectomy longer ago than I, did you go through this too?
Thanks, Sarah

John,I had a right temporal Lobectomy 5 years ago. I have had only 4 seizures since it. I am still on medications. I thank God I had it done. It was the best decission I ever made. Now the after math was a process all its own but it is really worth it. I did do alot of research at the library which made me more secure. I would recommend getting a book on the surgery or asking you doctor for a viedo. I do know my doctor shows all his patients a viedo. I had my surgery taped also. But do some reasearch on it .
