Hello, I had a left temporal lobectomy back in September of 2006 and have been seizure free since. I haven't had any deficits in either short term memory or speech and would easily recommend this procedure to anyone who is a candidate. Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions that I could answer for you. Good luck and all the best. Sincerely, Chumtochatwith
