Ask questions. Good to know what to expect. I’m 7 months since my surgery. You sleep during the surgery. It takes a while to heal. At 7 months I’ve forgotten most of what happened and I feel great. Go someplace very reputable is my best advice.

It’s really NOT a Big Surgery! I was in and out in half a day! I didn’t feel bad afterwards but we did postpone a short weekend trip just because I didn’t want to be 4 hours from home!

Thanks I’m finally starting to feel better but recovery has been slow. I am now in my second week of cardiac rehab. I guess I need to be more patient with myself and the whole process. Hugs and kisses 😘 Suzie Towler

I have a pacemaker/difliburator that was place in me in 2020. My battery is good for another 4 years. But I had no problem itger than being sore and tired but the pacemaker has helped a whole lot.
