Hi everyone. I'm at the 3 year mark and will soon need my DBS battery replaced. Does anyone have any advice on this? Did you opt for local anesthesia or general? I have a single implant but understand they now have a single battery pack that can work for both sides when you get the other side done. Does anyone have one of these? Is the replacement pack smaller than the original? [I hope!] Did you have much discomfort? [for me the pack was the most painful part of the operation.] Does anyone have the new fancy magnet thingee that can tell you if your DBS is on or off and read battery levels? Thanks!
