Surgery -- experiences?
Sun, 07/07/2019 - 01:15Topic: Surgery and Devices
Hi everyone,
I am going to be evaluated for resection/laser ablation or RNS implantation. The first step will be the intracranial EEG. From the MEG test that was done, there seems to be activity coming from the temporal lobe, and from the EEG, there was activity in the parietal lobe.
I was wondering if you could share your experiences with any of these procedures, and any short or long term effects you experienced as a result, both positive and negative?
Thanks so much!

Hello Sherrod:I had it done

Hello Sherrod:I had it done at "Overlook Medical Center" in New Jersey. Here is the link to their Epilepsy Center outlining the tests. As you scroll down you'll see the mention of the "magnetoencephalography (MEG)" in the second paragraph. Just click on that and it should tell you more. It's in bold letters, if that's the term. :) You can also see their contact information on the right side of the screen as you slowly scroll down. If you are on the East Coast, preferably the North East, speak with your doctor about it. My surgery was in New York City but the MEG was a train ride away across the Hudson River at Overlook Medical Center in New Jersey. The train puts you off pretty close to Overlook Medical Center--visible from the stop. Best Regards
