VNS therapy
Sat, 03/04/2017 - 12:06Topic: Surgery and Devices
I am having VNS therapy done March 27th. Ive done my research and have watched the video they gave me about it. The only thing im nervous about anesthesia.
I know what side effects that may happen when i get the VNS so thats not a problem. What im wondering is something more simple, I have a bluetooth and someone told me i may not be able to use it anymore after the VNS is implanted. If anyone knows for sure i would really appreciate it along with any other info about what to expect from the surgery.
