They need to be removed and reimplanted every five years, something they didn't know in the 70s.

However, if I had it to do all over again, I'd still get one, knowing about the week in the hospital eight years later. I couldn't take hormonal stuff and pregnancy would have burned out what's left of my kidneys. No thanks.
