I would like to talk to people who have also had surgery
Tue, 11/01/2011 - 08:11
Hi everyone,
I had left temporal surgery 3 years ago when I was 24, and just wondered if anyone else has got depresssed since having the surgery, and self conscious about the scar?.
I've never met anyone who has had epilepsy surgery, and would love to hear anyones story, and how they've felt since having the surgery, I would feel it would really help just to hear how you've coped.

Had a left temporal lobectomy, which was unsuccessful in reduceing seizure frequency or use of medicines. It did cause verbal/memory loss. No problem with the scar, so far; probably because mine in under my hair. Maybe I'll get to see something/it as my hair falls out/off. I quess I've thought of it because of last name.
