I've been pumping for about 8 and am extremely grateful to have been born & diagnosed this late in the pump's evolution. The first one, developed in 1963, looks like a huge & heavy back pack, and it paved the way for what we enjoy today. Well, until we find a cure, that it.
All the best and thanks for asking that interesting question!
