Anyone had LITT (laser interstitial thermal) Procedure?

Has anyone had laser interstitial thermal (LITT) surgery?

I have refractory epilepsy (temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis – left hemisphere). I have already tried 5 different medications (including medical cannabis) without success. Very recently LITT surgery has been recommended to me. Right now, I am trying to learn more about LITT and would very much appreciate talking to people who had undergone this surgery in the past, his or her experience and the results.
Thank you!

@santosha 5 different medications is a lot to try and it's important to gather as much information and support as possible before seriously considering surgery.

You'll notice that I moved you question to an existing discussion on this topic. I did this so you could connect with members in a central location.

Members like @jakedduck1 @jeffery @deeebeee @lsittll @jillian18 @caseybach @heal33 @wildone101 @heal33 @debint have recently discussed epilepsy and may be able to offer support.

May I ask if you have consulted with a second opinion?
