Pacemaker/Defib woman considering sleeve?

[meryls 0]

Hi , I’m 60 years old with a pacemaker/ defib some 7 years now. Considering gastric Sleeve surgery but nervous due to this, a little more risky. Anyone out there that did the surgery under same circumstances?

Has anyone in this group had the sleeve surgery with a pacemaker/ defib? I posted over a week ago and have yet to get any response which I find inusual . Would love to hear from someone

I don’t have a pacemaker but I do have a heart valve defect and had my sleeve done in December 2019. If you have questions definitely talk to the surgeon you want doing it as they’ll have you more than likely be cleared by your cardiologist for surgery anyway.

I know it’s not exactly what you were looking for but I hope it helps.
