I had this operation done years old and the VNS didn't work for me so I gotten it out. I still have my leads in.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I agree i spent a month or so in the hospital for each resection. I did leave the same day for the rns, it doesnt work though. I can feel the shocks but no effect, and i gave up on the magnet. Im on 5 medications just for auras, and ive been dizzy, off balance and falling so they might try to take me off one of the most affective ones. I want to try the rns because medication obviously isnt working. My dr brought it to the epilepsy board? I guess? And theyre nervous because i have a vns already,but id happily turn it off because it makes it hard to talk if i get a shock. They want extra testing and the first is on the 3rd
