Why did they put the battery in your butt? Is it for the scs? If so that is a strange place to put a battery even if not it is still a strange place for a battery. If it is for the scs then they should have put the battery where they put mine. My is in the lower right side of my abdomen. It usually never gets in the way. The only time is if I have to lean over something I can feel it. It is just a small bulge. Thank heavens I have some fat because if I didn't it would stick out like a sore thumb. Sorry to hear that surgery is postponed and that you are in so much pain. I am praying for you. Take care and hopefully the ins. gets there heads out of THERE Butts. No pun intended.

Sincerely,
