Hey guys. I've been considering brain surgery lately. I previously considered it as just not the option for me, I just wasn't comfortable with the idea of them cutting around up there. But the more time goes by, the more I think maybe I ought to pursue it--at least from the standpoint of being tested to see if I am even eligible. I don't expect a miracle cure, but I would love for my seizures to be more controllable.
Can any of you tell me what I should expect? The only testing I've done have been EEGs (3 hour outpatient or shorter), and one MRI when I was first diagnosed. They have suggested I go in for the inpatient VEEG where they take you off your meds, but they haven't mentioned doing anything further. What kind of testing did you do prior to being deemed eligible? What can I expect from a 5-7 day VEEG?
