I have vertigo issues as well and I'm very nervous about waking from surgery and being dizzy. Sure hope I have your experience and the vertigo is gone after surgery!

How soon is your surgery date? I wish you well and will think positive thoughts for you.

Just a small bit of advice here. Before your CI surgery when they are prepping you, tell the prep team you want an anti nausea patch. Not sure why, but they don't automatically provide that. It can make a world of difference to you, especially if you tend to have vertigo. I asked for this with another surgery I had a few years back. They were surprised I asked, but provided it. Consequence: No nausea after that surgery either. It helps to advocate for ourselves.
