I've talked to two folks personally who have said that DBS gave them their life back! Yeah I'm all for those two benefits! One question I have though is where should I have the stimulator placed, near the collarbone or abdomen? Does anyone who has had DBS have a recommendation?
My surgeon suggested a nonrechargeable 1 pack in my abdomen instead of 2 packs below the collarbone. I am glad I took his advice. I'm quite pleased .(I'm notorious for not listening to drs). I'm slim so the packs by the collarbones would show. Skin is too thin there. And I don't sleep on my stomach.
