Default Medical science--VNS

I'm not sure where to post this, but, I thought I would here. This has to do with medical science and cutting edge surgery. Does anyone know about the Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) made by Cyberonics. It is an device implanted in the chest with a lead wire connected to the vagus nerve. It is used for primarily for people with epilepsy and now be used to treat people with treatment resistant depression. I am curious to find those who have been implanted with this device and what their experiences have been like with this treatment for either epilepsy or depression.
