Well, I finally got to see my consultant and Medtronic rep in April and have been waiting since then for the funding to be approved for replacement. This is now scheduled for 21st November, just hoping the battery lasts that long!

Thank you for posting the scan of the booklet - that was exactly the page I was trying to find!

I have one more question! They are upgrading the system to a rechargeable battery, but I also want them to move the battery. It's currently in my rib cage and being a lady (which some may question at times!), it's not the most comfortable place - I'll leave your imaginations to fill in the rest!

Does anyone have the battery inserted in the lower stomach area? I believe that is my other option, and wanted to check what the feedback was on this area.

Thanks as always for your help!
