I was just wondering if there were any individuals out there who had seizure disorder prior to having the sleeve done. If so what kind of seizure disorder did you have and do feel like you have any side effects from the gastric sleeve that is negative torward your seizure disorder?

i DEVELOPED a seizure disorder 14 months post op sleeve. (diagnosed yesterday) i would think that having wls with a diagnosis of epilepsy would not impede qualifying......pros outway the cons to me. good luck on your journey!

seizure disorder

rgrana05

i have been a "controlled" epileptic since i was 16 (thats 43 years, but please don't tell anyone, ok? )

after i had lost 60 lbs - i had a "situation"

it wasn't a normal seizure

didn't lose consciousness

but - "it" wasn't good

after blood work "they" realized i had too much meds (keppra) in my system for my new lesser weight

my dosage was lowered, and then lowered again when i reached my final goal of 105 lbs down

too bad i had to find out the hard way about too much meds

but...................having my epilepsy dosage reduced, was something we hadn't thought would happen

this is truly my favorite/best NSV
