I've got complex partial seizures with identified abnormality in my temporal lobe.

the surgery went nicely and the doctor resected almost everything in the damaged area, but after the surgery, I start to have acute post-operative seizures.
Moreover, It's been over 2 months, and still having seizures, I find that weird.
Has anyone done traditional surgery and been experiencing post-operative seizures????
Thank you,
Feras
