Belinda,
I'm sorry your seizures were coming from both sides. I'm hoping that I don't start having seizures in a different location. I've heard a number of stories where surgery was successful and they stayed seizure-free for years and then they started having seizures again in a different part of the brain. But, I've also heard the stories where people have continued to remain seizure-free many years later after surgery. As for me, I'm not actually seizure-free. I do have auras, but they seem to be decreasing. Also, it's not as bad as having complex partials. I know this will sound crazy, but after living with seizures all my life it feels kind of weird not having them. It's like OK when is it going to happen? My seizures were always a part of me and my life.
