Our VNS Story
Wed, 03/03/2010 - 21:23My husband had a Vagus Nerve Stimulator placed two weeks ago. While researching this procedure, we noticed that there are not a lot of useful personal experiences readily available on the internet. We have started a blog to document his experience with this device. We will keep it updated so that everyone on the internet has access to a non-biased story and experience for VNS.

Got my VNS on 7/28/2010. Doctor didn't get the nerve, so now stuck with it. Can't find a doctor to fix it or remove it.(the other surgeon won't fix the first surgeon mess up) Spend the extra time and money and get great doc. I should have gone to Emory. Don't trust company or doctor about pointing to good surgeon, they just refer to friends. Do the research, can't tell u if it works because mine never did!! No one is really giving solution, just pointing fingers. With what I'm going through, I think its the next scam on those that need help or hope. I want to know many other just have scars and nothing else to show for. A. Taylor Georgia
