Hi - fyi

I am a 12 year survivor of a Right Temporal lobectomy in 1997 and have been totally seizure free since surgery.

great to hear your good news ! My 5 year old daughter had a left temporal lobectomy 7 weeks ago and we have seen no seizures since . The curtains to the world have been opened up to her now ! Did you have any problems with pressure after surgery ? My daughter had to have a shunt fitted as the high pressure got critical .
