I feel that I will have to make a decision on having the DBS surgery within a year. Could someone please let me know their experiences with DBS? Were you able to go back to work? I would love to go back to work if at all possible vs disability.

you might want to check out Yahoo groups' DBS forum. there are those who have had it done (my PWP in 2007) and those who are considering it. there are also docs who post. there are pro's & con's and they talk about it all.
