Default DBS activator in chest dislodges

Has anyone with young onset Parkinson's with a DBS had any experience with it coming out of its "pocket"? I was stretching a couple of weeks ago and felt " a little something". Turns out the DBS activator (pacemaker in chest closer to my right shoulder) popped out of the Pocket when I brought my right arm across my chest to stretch! WOW! It's quite uncomfortable and now I must have surgery to re place it. Ugh! I was hoping to become much more active this summer, but will have to wait again. Thanks for any feedback.
