Hope ur ok. Thanks ms k

Dont know if this could be the same sort of problem. My dad found out ona pre op physical that his hearbeat was irratic. He ended up having something I thinkc called carioversion ( spelling is probably not right) Basically they did a procedure and shocked his heart back into a normal rhythm.
He also has other issues going on so while they were doing the procedure they implanted a pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator He is now MUCH better and his heart function has really improved.

I've been following the boards and am scheduled for roux-en-y on 9/11. I have a defibrillator and pacer implanted and have the pvc problem. They implanted it to prevent me from going into cardiac arrest two years ago. I also have had a heart attack and a triple bypass. The implant of the device is a breeze.....and the recovery is fast. I hardly know it's there. It has improved my heart function greatly and handles the pvc problem. Better to be safe than sorry. I actually like having it because I know if my heart fails I will get jolted and it will save my life. It has never gone off so far and if it does I will be thankful I had it done.
