I Just Got Out Of The Hospital From 2 Brain Surgery's - Epilepsy Message Board

Well I just got home from being in the hospital for 6 weeks to have 2 brain surgery's. I was told that everything was a big success. The first surgery was to find where the seizures are coming from. The second surgery was to take where the seizures are coming from out. Now I was put back on the seizure drugs and I will stay on that for 6-9 months. When we are ready they take me off the drugs and find out if we are fixed and if the seizures are gone. I'm a little scared because I went through so such and pray that I am fixed and God has fixed me.

Hi,

I hope everything will be a success for you.
Just wondering though, what section of your
brain was it that they found the problem and
removed ? My doctor is beginning to talk to me
about surgery and I will be going to a Florida
University on Jan. 14th to begin any testing,etc.

I would appreciate any advice or opinion.

Take care,Sherri

So glad to hear that the surgery was successful. You must be so relieved that it's over. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Rest up and take care of yourself. Give yourself time to heal now. Best of luck to you.

Hi Sherri,
Thanks for thoughts, things were hard to get though. The two surgery's that I just had done were on the left temporal lobe. It has been 17 years dealing with this and I hope were done. It's going to be 6-9 months now waiting to see if we fixed this. Where is yours coming from? How long have you been dealing with this? Well I wish you the best and you will do OK.
Take Care,
