Hi there.
I've been using the pump for about 10 years now. I can say that it's amazing, it's helped me to maintain low blood results and administers the insulin at a more natural rate.
I've been abroad on numerous occasions with it. It does raise some eyebrows when clearing customs coming back to the UK but never from the departing side for some reason.
As far as pain is concerned, you are aware that you are wearing something and you have to remember that there is something attached to you ( it will be there 24/7). Sometimes if you forget you can feel a tug on your stomach as a reminder.
If infection is an issue then because you are reducing the number of sites used then I've found that this has dropped.
To close. I wouldn't be without mine. It's an amazing piece of equipment and definitely one of the best thing on the market.
Good luck.
