Seizures right before surgery

Wed, 02/21/2007 - 19:25
Hello everyone- Quick survey of sorts- did having seizures the week or so before your surgery have any effect on the outcome/success of your surgery? I'm having a RTL on March 1st and I had a seizure today- and 5 last week when my surgery was originally scheduled for tomorrow(the 22nd)! I don't have seizures this often so it is odd- I think the stress is getting to me - oh and I'm trying to quit smoking too which isn't helping... so now that I sound like a total nutbag anyone have seizures the week or so before their surgery and end up in wonderful seizure freedomland? Hope all are well and Happy Hump Day! Amanda

yeah, im sure stress is the factor. just try to relax. i went through surgery and it really wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, youll be relieved afterwards (well, maybe not RIGHT away... but you get the point :P ) get some rest! :):) i hope everything turns out ok for you
