Medtronic SCS #4
 
Yes I am on my 4th unit. Confirmed that fact last week with my current rep. I am programming my unit on my right and left sides and adjusting the back/belly and upright controls. Learning curve is a little different, need to stay in one place for 3 min after adjusting. Letting the doc know how hard/easy it is for me to adjust so he has info for his other pts

Next time?
 
Skipping the zipper, have asked Dr last 2 times for a tummy tuck he refuses, but does tell me if I lose much more weight he will move it to my butt, I think he will NOT be doing that. I do know that if my leads need to be changed the option for my unit to remain in my abdomen. Glad I was one of the 1st pts to get a unit since it is my abdomen. He knows me so well he did not even ask me about moving it to my back. Most of the surgery crew had never heard of putting the generator in the abdomen, I think they did not believe me that it was there until I marked the site. Those poor kids :cool:
