After i had my knee surgery, i wasn't afraid of surgery. It depends on what kind of surgery you are having and how much you have studied about it so you know what to expect. Side effects will vary from person to person. Before i had my ablation surgery i went online to get as much information as i could find about it. I even had a chance to watch the surgery on YouTube to get an idea of what it was like before making my decision.

Yeah I just can’t see myself having brain surgery yet. I do want to be seizure free but mmmm
And I know you have to be a candidate for it.

I would be scared to have brain surgery but if it gave me a seizure free life with no need medications needed then I would do it.
my fear with surgery not necessarily brain surgery is recovery I've never had a seizure disorder before and the thought of having a seizure after my operation is done terrifies me I mean your already sore from the surgery what if you rip your internal stitches during one 😖😖😖😖😥.
