" I'm not a big fan of it, however, I went through hell with it. I had it put in, 2 weeks later had to have surgery to fix the catheter as it moved away from my spine...2 weeks after that the pump was leaking and I had to have it completely removed. 3 surgeries in 6 weeks just about killed me.

I know everyone is different...all I can say is be sure you ask LOTS of questions and do your research and MOST IMPORTANT make sure you have a GREAT surgeon. That was part of my problem...my surgeon wasn't the best qualified to do the pump.

Good Luck! "
