Cutting the vagus nerve would be malpractice!! At anytime-it would paralyze muscles that let you talk swallow breath/ move you food through digestive track/ controls body temperature/it runs the length of 3/4 of your body/ you need to study the cranial nerves and compare her problems to what nerves were possibly affected during surgery/ help the doctor figure out what happened- it’s her body- she knows more than any one what’s affected/ you’ve got to take intimate some things on your on

To @smilton – that is such good advice. That she should compare her problems with or if nerves were damaged during surgery. It is too much of a coincidence that she had no problems (other than weight) prior to surgery and the headaches, pain in abdomen, nausea, slow motility, all began a few months after surgery.
The bariatric surgeon said he thought he saw a shadow at the juncture of her small intestine and the stomach but nothing definitive. She has had scans and xrays by a Neeurologist, neuro surgeon and gi specialist. They all “suspected” but not sure.
She is highly intelligent and now very familiar with the vagus nerve but we are waiting for a referral to a doctor who has vagus nerve experience. Meanwhile she is home suffering to day.
There are 300 clinical trials out there investigating the invasive VNStimulator. She is trying to get the TENS noninvasive stimulator adjusted properly. She has a blood pressure monitor and the CorSense monitor. But your suggestion makes sense and I will pass it along to her.
