My doc said I would be confined to bed for 7-10days. Since I have temporal lobe epilepsy, some of the leads will be near my temple/jaw and go through the upper jaw muscle. It can make eating an issue and some go on a soft diet until the leads are removed. He also mentioned at a recovery time of 2+ months to get back to my current physical condition. That all sounds pretty daunting. Your experience sure sounds different. Thanks for the feedback

That sucks. One of the goals I was hoping for is to reduce the drugs. The side effects suck

I have Temporal Lobe Epilepsy too. I didn’t have any wires in my jaw area. That must have come after I had my SEEG. I do remember one of my surgeries taking 8 weeks to recover. It was either the SEEG or the RNS or it could have been both. I hope you make it through the surgery and have a good recovery.
