Some of you know my twin Bro , anyways he had an operation yesterday and came home today

Operation was cancelled 3 times this year but finally it happened

He has suffered from epilepsy for about 20 odd years now and the op was to fit a little box which connects to a nerve in the neck.

It's called a vagal nerve stimulator

It's going to be switched on in a few weeks time , when it will start to stimulate the nerve in the neck that connects to the brain, at set time intervals , i think its 30 seconds every 5 minutes or something.

Apparantly with about 50% of people who have it fitted it reduces the number of fits they have so its fingers crossed

Cheers all

I wish him the best of luck and really hope its a great success!

Toadster, great that it's finally happened then. Sounds like he's been waiting for a while. Really hope it works as intended, good luck to him!

best of luck matey hope it works for him

Wow thats crazy what they can do to reduce fits.
Hope all works out better for him.

I know your bro's been waiting a while for the op, glad he's finally gone in and had it.

Hope it works for him when it gets switched on.

nice one. glad tech is rolling out this fast. good luck to him

Glad the op went well - I've never heard of this before, I have a good friend who has epilepsy - I wonder if he's heard of this. He has a fit every couple of years on and off. Really puts him out not able to drive for a year after. Did you bro have the same issue?

Be interested to see how he gets on with it.

Good luck to him

wish him the best and hope it all works fine.
