Hello Susan! I know you posted this question back on July16th, but I thought I'd comment anyways. I got my VNS in June of 2008. I haven't noticed any infections....yet....after reading what other people posted, about seizures returning, I pray it continues to work for me! Did you end up having the VNS removed completely? How is Abby now? I am curious to know. I pray all is well!

Can not tell you for sure, asking my memory to do something, but if I remember the last surgery afterwards was a rather sore throat. They will be doing it again because the battery for my VNS has died and are not able to get a signal. Also do recall feeling it, but only when the magnet was wagged in front or they were tinkering. I am on the other end of that stick, juiced to the max. Hope all comes out well.
