I had it in March of this year and it was live changing for me. I've been able to eliminate Amantadine and reduced my Sinemet from 10 pills per day(still having tremors) to 1 pill per day this week and all tremors have been gone since the surgery. If you're qualified as a candidate I highly recommend it.
