Default I had DBS surgery 8 years
I am on original batteries. I made the right decision. Now there is a DAT Scan which can diagnosis and track the progress of PD. This is a tool you could not use without removing the DBS. I would possibly reexamine my decision. I have no idea if they will replace the batteries is they go dead.

Making such a big one and personal. You could get as many answers as you could ask people have had DBS done, but no one could tell you what is right for you except you.
