Look up buried button syndrome. My husband had the doupa pump and the line got buried in his stomach, 3 days 3 surgeries and they had to remove part of his stomach. He never got back to his old self. Also the outside line breaks often and then u have to have surgery to replace it. If u travel u have to keep the cartridges in a cooler, 1 for each day your gone. A big hassele.
