@lilydahlia Good Morning
Welcome to our group at Mayo Clinic Connect!
That's wonderful that you've reached your goal weight – what an accomplishment! I'm sorry you're dealing with these VNS complications, though. That must be really frustrating.
I haven't personally used a VNS, but there are others in this group who have and can probably offer some helpful insights. I'm also tagging @happyrivers9 and @sb7 – they both have VNS experience and might be able to speak to your concerns.
Keep trusting what your body is telling you – if something feels off, don't hesitate to keep pushing for answers. You're your own best advocate.
Sending support your way!
Chris
