Hi.

I'm 4 days post op from my 2nd pacemaker surgery in 5 months.

It was a side insertion and this time they had to move it inside my pec muscle, make a pocket and sew it in place. To quote the Dr...they had to go deeper, and use much more force than expected! Great...yet again - not a simple procedure.

The recovery seems to be better than the 1st op, but the pain is a whole new world of pain!
Everything seems to be doing ok, but i guess it'll be a slow process to make sure the PM doesn't move and this doesn't happen again.

Has anyone else had their's moved there? And what was the recovery like? Any hints about recovery would be great.

Thanks
Lyds
