Possible candidate for brain surgery

Question

I just spoke to a new neurologist who told me that he thinks there is a possibility I could be eligible for brain surgery.

I get limbic seizures, they are mostly controlled with meds except for at night, but the side effects of the meds make life very hard in ways that non epileptic people can't understand and my memory is terrible from not getting sleep and brain fog from meds.

If this is a possible cure for my epilepsy, is it worth it? Is there anyone out there who has had it and can speak on it? I have a large amount of trust for this neurologist, but I am interested to hear what other epileptic folks have to say..
