Hey, Jennifer.
Yep, I think you'll need more surgery, as I'm sure I will. My shunt is older than you are, and I am fully prepared for the very high probability that I will need more shunt surgery. Shunts are man-made devices and rarely last longer than 30 years. It's natural and normal for them to deteriorate over time.
