Hello isaint,
I live in northern california and had my brain surgery done in the bay area at Kasier in 8-8-08. I was in the same rout you are where I had been on every med they ever put ou in every combination for 44 years. Finially I met and started working with my 3 doctor's an nurse and it took almost a 1/2 year but I was able to have the surgery this year. I think if the doctor's say you qualify to have the surgery I would do it. I was scared and I was also excited. But I have not regreted it at all. I wish you the very best and if you ever feel like talking here is my e-mail (milocharliezoey@yahoo.com) I come up to the bay alot so if you need ant support just e-mail ok. Take care

You need to as much research as possible on their program there. I don't know anything about their program since I live in Orange County. There are good number of level 4 centers in the LA and Orange County. I've looked into getting the surgery but I'm not sure I'll be a canidate for the surgery. I don't like the side effects on the meds which is a reason I'm thinking of it. I'm getting a recedding hair line and I'm 23! I don't need to be bald soon. It's hard to get an exact weight! I've had a shoulder surgery due to a seizure and a mild car accident in a parking lot. I want it for the fact if I have my own place and no one is there, what will happen? That scares me
