My mom had her vagus nerve cut in the process of ulcer surgery in 1978. Along with cutting the nerve, they removed her gall bladder and appendix. While it seemed to have helped the ulcers, it created a whole new set of problems that get worse over the years. The simpliest manifestation is her comment after eating that the food "seems to just sit on my stomach" - something it actually appears to do. In reading, it appears to have have had a negative effect on her entire digestive system and from reading may have an affect on blood pressure and even speach. Additionally, as there is not reversal, the problems just seem to be getting worse as she ages.
What else can I help you with?
