Are you referring to video EEG sessions being monitored in the hospital? If so, then one lasting about 3 or 4 days.

I'm trying to get another session setup because of my change in seizure activity.

This one is on how many vEEGs
you have had.

There is another poll on

VEEG - How Long Was Your Stay? (Video Electroencephalogram)

Personally, I am bound for another
video EEG coming up soon. I can
remember when they were on VHS,
then to CD, now on DVD.

Sorry I am tired...

I now realize it says VEEG. That should be ONE.
I voted 3-5 but that is only for EEG.

Fixed it for you Robin.

Thanks Mr B

Three: First one for a full seven days in a hospital not associated whatsoever with the Neurologist I had been working with where the food was about as bad as it gets and where the nursing staff and MD's were not very nice. I did not plan this, but I wish I had: the only seizure I had was while I was in the bathroom! Second one: In the hospital from Monday morning to Friday afternoon next to the University of MN where I went for my neurologist. That was the only good one of the three. At precisely (?) 4:30 AM on Friday morning I had a massive seizure (or so I was told) because it took them three nights to figure out it would require my being BOTH sleep deprived and reduction in meds for this to happen. Third time: I will never figure out why I had to do the third time. It was at the same hospital as #2 just seven months later and so little had changed that I became annoyed and annoyed everyone there.

I couldn't vote.... None was not an option....

I've had two VEEGs .... the first was 3 days and 4 nights...the second (a year later before the second surgery) was 4 days and 4 nights)

Having my first one in August after 5years of fighting for it. i have been told to expect around a 6 day stay for the video EEG then on the 7th day they will do a contrast MRI whatever that is? don't know what the difference is between that and a normal MRI?quite sure a 6 day trace of my brain's activity will keep them all busy for a while...might keep them off the golf course for a while

[Nancy]

When I went in - both times for video EEG - I had contrast MRI (and PEG) (is PEG correct term? It's been a day from h?ll and shows no sign of improvement) before video EEG even started and then another MRI immediately after video EEG was over.
I love being carted down the hospital halls to the MRI machine with all the EEG crap on my head -- I always sit up and wave to the crowds.
