I'm encouraged by the fact that you've had 8 years with good results. Hoping that the doctor can make adjustments to give you some relief.

No I have not had any weight gain. My surgery tool place in may of 2014. I see some minimal changes of some of the symptoms returning and some additional. Such symptoms as speech, swallowing, choking, my tremors are coming back but not truly physical see them but I feel them on the inside.

Thanks Karen, not what I wanted to hear. But I"m not surprised. I've spent the last year not paying attention to how much or when I eat, so time to buckle down and reduce my intake and try to keep the DBS 20 from becoming DBS 20+

Hi Suzann-
I watched many videos of people talking about their DBS surgery , before i had mine. I also have gained about 20 lbs.There were women in these videos who talked about the "DBS 20" . And as far as i can tell, it's only women who have this problem. Lucky Us! It's hard enough as we get older, to lose weight anyway. I have asked my doctor, and she really didn't have an answer for me. She's gotta be in her 30s, so what does she know? 😁🤔
Sorry to say, but i believe it is TRUE. The DBS 20 is real.
I see my doctor this week, I'll ask her again.
Blessings and hugs, Karen
