people that went through with brain surgery to stop your seizures, was it worth it?

I need to decide if I should remove my left temporal lobe for a chance to eliminate my seizures.
 
But for me I'm glad I had the surgery, which I had in 2011.

Prior to my surgery I was I was having simple complex partial seizures and the odd tonic clonic.

I was 2 years seizure free until I started having simple partial again.
But my seizures are nowhere as bad or as often as they were.

Good luck with whatever decision you make

I'm told I have scaring, but it will be the amygdala and hippocampus that is removed which comes with some consequence ?

How bad is the short term memory loss, or the effects on emotions/feelings, issues with language and vision?
