Yep...I just had my 2nd revision in 29 yrs. Technically not a revision. He was going to take the old shunt out but since it's been there since I was 5, there was a huge risk of hemorrhaging if he pulled it out and he didn't want to take the chance. So, he put in a programmable on Aug 18th. I feel SO much better.

I kinda thought of the slit ventricle syndrome angle, BUT since this new valve is programmable, that can probably be fixed pretty easily if the need arises. I had chronic headaches for the past yr or so before the new shunt was put in. Since surgery...only 2 headaches, and they were minor. I took Tylenol and that was it. We'll just have to see how I feel and how the CT looks in December I guess. For now, I feel pretty good.
