I don't know about vagus nerve issues, but a bariatric surgeon I talked to said about 50% of patients who get the VGS have hiatal hernias and they're fixed at time of the VSG.

The nerve really should not be a factor in the surgery. In fact , it keeps functioning after the surgery, which is why your stomach still produces acid afterwards...and why most surgeons recommend proton pump inhibitor for 3 months postoperative

I've actually been suffering from some weird palpitations/fluttering for about 10+ years and it happens when I'm lying down or moving around quick and or eating certain foods. I was reading online and a lot seems to come from the hiatal hernia . Docs haven't been able to pin point where it comes from . I don't have heart problems (that I know of) but will make sure everything's checked before surgery. I just wanted to know if anyone has had similar symptoms and had VSGS. Just wondering
