I had epilepsy surgery, right anterior temporal lobectomy with amygdalo-hippocampectomy ,11 years ago now, and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I had tried so many meds with none of them completely stopping my seizures which is the goal. With the statistics, evidence based, being that once one AEd fails to stop them, there is less than a 15% chance of any AED ever stopping them. It worsens over time, so it was important to try and stop them, so I was told about surgery my epileptologist at the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and had it done at Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Ga. My life started again at that point, and I have made so much progress since. It was, as I mentioned, the best decision i have made for myself. Finishing my education was the next best. Gave me my life back. Tattoo
