hi, Guys,
I wanted to know if any of you knew about which tests can not be done once one has a Vagus Nerve Stimulator. I know that MRI is out, but do you know if a PET scan or SPEC scan can be done? Is there any type of MRI that is safe?

I'm researching the epilepsy surgery and can not find the answers to this question. I did call Cyberonics, but did not really get any help there. They do not seem to be as patient-friendly as they were when I got my VNS...

ANY info I can get would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to hear from those who have had the surgery. That is how I made the decision to get my VNS. I spoke with the people who had already received a VNS.



Thanks,
Sissylou
