How To Treat Vagas Nerve Which Got Damaged During Surgery?
My 81 year old mother had stomach surgery last year. We now think her Vagas nerve was damaged during surgery. What can be done to treat her symptoms? When she eats or drinks anything her stomache begins to blow up and becomes very painful. She also gets dizzy

Hi.
The first thing is to confirm whether Vagus has really been damaged.
There are tests that the Gastroenterologists do.
The problem can be solved easily only with a surgery called gastro-jejunal bypass surgery ( i really do not know whether she can withstand this type of surgery due to age factor.
