Anyone with a pacemaker had reverse shoulder replacement surgery? I may be having this RSR surgery...what risks are there ? Surgery is left shoulder, with the pacemaker adjacent to it.

I asked my local doctor about doing that on the left near the pacemaker. He laughed an said he does that surgery all the time as i live in Pacemaker county. Of course i did not do that side. Only the right side. That is why i got a pacemaker first. Had to do a stress test for the surgery first. Found out slow heart beat and pauses. Got the pacemaker and a year later did the right shoulder.

Pacemakers are very reliable devices.

Welcome aboard!
I can't answer your question but someone will come along. I did read up on your surgery though to learn what it compromises.
Your medical team knows that you have a pacemaker. I'm sure every precaution will be taken. I'm wondering if diathermy is involved because that's a possible concern.
Are you 100% dependent on your pacemaker? Just curious.
