St Jude's ICD
I WAS AT 2.55 FOR 9 MONTHS...NOW 2 MONTHS AT 2.52 BATTERY . I'M WONDERING APPROXIMATELY HOW LONG BEFORE THEY CHANGE IT AT 2.45. THE WAIT IS KILLING ME :)

I had a pacemaker when I was 11. I never once thought I wasn't a 'normal kid' nor was I ever treated differently because of it. I could do everything all my friends were doing; I just happened to have a battery attached to my heart to help it work.
How Long

My guess is 1 to 2 years. It all depends on how much it has to help to help your heart. Get a checkup every 3 months, or so, to get a better feel for how much time is left.
Your St. Jude pacemaker will not suddenly quit and leave you stranded. It will give a warning that replacement time is getting near starting at least 3 months before that time. Checkups are the best way to know that the time is getting closer.
