looking for advice....I really need to hear from those who have had surgery

Hi everyone, I have gotten mixed responses from people, but I really need to hear from those who have undergone surgery.....is surgery really worth it?  Do you feel it has benefited you and made you better?  Until I actually meet and talk to the neuro-surgeon next month, I won't know her thoughts, the benefits, risks, etc in my case....I can just be very pessamistic and always think the worse, but I'm trying really hard to be hopeful and this feels like my last option....my neurologist recommends surgery, but cannot tell me what to do....I can either go on the way I'm going, which I don't like.....I want my life back, I want my license back, I don't want to worry about having another seizure, etc.  I just need to know that if I have surgery, that their is a good chance of me becoming seizure free or at least get my seizures under control and not get worse.  Compared to a lot of others, my case isn't as severe, but even 1 seizure is 1 too many....I don't want anymore....I just wish they knew what was causing me to have seizures, why are they so sporadic, etc.  I've had numerous tests, take my medications religiously, etc but I still have them....like I said above, I just really need to know if surgery is worth it..I want to move forward, not backwards.  Any responses would be helpful...thanks
