Has anyone who had the VSG by TWH had their Vagus nerve cut? This has been on my mind since someone brought it up!

I personally have never seen the vagus nerve mentioned in my 6 yrs on OH. I have heard of the hunger hormone grehlin being affected by VSG. My understanding is that the part of the stomach that is removed during VSG surgery is where grehlin is primarily produced.

This is the first I had heard of this. I just winsome reading on it and I see what you are referring too.
