Surgery -- experiences?

Topic: 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!

Got the email with the link and THANK YOU so much!  We're in the Southeast so I am hoping we can talk his neurologist into at least considering the MEG scan done.  I saved the link so I can go back and communicate with them.  Again, thanks!

You are welcome Sherrod. Who knows, maybe there is a hospital in another neighboring state in the Southeast that might have the MEG. Be like me. Make sure you ask a lot of questions. As I like to say; "It doesn't hurt." :)Best Regards
