                        I had the vns surgery, and I came out worse than I was before the surgery.  I would not recommend it to anyone.  Everyone else I've spoke with that has had it feels the same way.  After the surgery I was told that the spinning attacks would have subsided with time.  I can't do half the things I used to do before the surgery.  Trust me it's not worth it.  That's my opinion, the decision is yours.  Before I had the surgery, I researched it thourghly and though I knew everything.  I was wrong.  I've also had 5 months vestibular therapy, it helped a little but that's all.  I wish I had it to do over and know what I know now.  I wouldn't do it.
