My daughter, age 17, has just had 2 surgeries in a week. She had a bladder pacemaker put in. She has high pressure in her bladder, so there was no cure. We've tried everything from meds to accupunture, to alarms. We've had doctors that blamed her for being lazy, constipated, sleeping too deeply, but no one ever checked out the anatomy of her bladder...until her adult doctor. She gave her the option of trying botox in the bladder, but it could over work and she would have to cath herself until it wore off. Not good for 17 yr old senior!!! Then the bladder stimulator was mentioned. That was 3 weeks ago. The first surgery attached wires to her lower spine nerves, a battery pack attached. The last week she had gauze and tape holding things together. She's been dry ever since they 'programmed ' her. Then today, they took off the outside battery pack and buried the wires, and she has a small battery implanted into her butt. This is all below the bikini line! 
This is going to change my daughter's life forever. I highly recommend looking into it. They do it on children as young as 5. They do it on patients who are in wheelchairs. It's life changing.
