Hi Donna. My name is Lori Ann. I had my Lap-rny on August 20th, then on September 28th I had emergency surgery for two adhesional obstructions in my small intestines. I also have epilepsy. My surgeon never questioned any problems with the surgery concerning epilepsy. During my recovery, when I hadn't taken my tegretol and depakote for three days---I started having small seizures---but as soon as I resumed medications they stopped. Any questions, please feel free to ask. Sincerely, Lori Ann
