Hi, I’m due to have a pacemaker inserted under the muscle as apparently I’m too skinny to have it placed in the usual position. Can anyone tell me the recovery differences for this procedure? I’m a secondary school teacher and would also like to know when I can go back to work.
thanks.

Yesterday was my first day mountain biking after my implant. I wiped out several times and everything is fine. There are sports after pacemakers!
Too skinny?

I wouldn’t say it’s because Your too skinny it’s where the doc is placing it. Mine is low right above my boob under a good amount of tissue. Not under the muscle. I’m skinny and you can’t see mine. Unless he’s using a bigger pacer. I have one of the smallest on the market. He can place is lower to hide it under the skin. I’m very active and young my doc felt those 2 reasons were good enough to not put under the muscle.
