Jim, there are quite a few of us who've had the surgery, and some of us have had it fairly recently. I had mine nine weeks ago yesterday, and I've been seizure-free for 66 days now. If I had it to do over again, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Yes, there's pain involved, but what good things DON'T happen without some pain involved? Mari
