March 10th is the last of my journey before getting my surgery date...however this afternoon I was in the ER cause of a unexplained secezure (spelling, sorry)...would this secezure prevent me from having the surgery? The drs have no idea why i got it so im referred to a neurologist, I dont want ANYTHING to stop me from having this surgery...please help

I'm assuming you mean a seizure. And yes, that could very well push back your surgery. I would go to the neurologist and see what he/she says, though figuring out why you had a seizure is most important. Your Lapband surgery can always be rescheduled.

My stepdad has had 2 seizures without any known cause, but he is on medication. I'd definitely get checked out as seizures aren't anything to play with.

You must tell your surgeon! I would see a neurologist to see if they can determine why you had it. The surgeon might insist on answers before going forward.

i agree... you should not have surgery until they find out why you're having seizures! or at least discuss with your surgeon. that is definately something he should know before operating!!
