Floridian?

Hi

im new to a pacemaker and to this forum.  I live in Jupiter and wonder if there are any Floridian that are interested in forming a face to face support group? Im still in disbelief that I have a pacemaker and overwhelmed. Online forum is great in person group even better!

thanks

Welcome to the club, Eliza!  I, too, just got my pacemaker a week ago and am still having trouble coming to terms with it.  I hope you find support and encouragement here.  I know I have.  I also found a Facebook Page....Pacemaker Support Group.....that has been very helpful.

Hi,

Welcome..I live in Port Saint Lucie West and had my pacemaker procedures (on my 2nd one in 10 years)   done at Palm Beach  Gardens Medical Center  by Dr. Platt, a highly experienced  electrophysiologist  My experience with the procedures and results have been extremely positive. Hope you have the same results.  Feel free to contact me on this site if you have any comments or questions.

I'm in Jupiter, too! Small world. Like Rodger, mine were done at PBGMC, the last two by Dr. Platt. I'm on #5.  I'm not aware of any local groups outside of Mended Heart but that's more for open heart than pacing.
