Bill - I had the DBS-STN surgery on June 13 and I have been very happy with
the results.   It really wasn't that bad except for the shaving of my head
but now my hair is grown in and I notice that it has helped me cut down my
medication and also made my "off" times easier.   Before the surgery when I
went "off" I pretty much had to sit around and wait to turn "on" again.  Now
I can still function but just at a slower pace.   It's also helpful when I'm
driving because it's not so scary if I turn "off" while behind the wheel!

Good luck to you and one thing I should mention is that before they turn it
on after a week or so you might feel worse than ever but hang in there.
Once they get it turned on and at the right voltage it's great.

Debby
