- When I was 36 I was told I needed to have a pacemaker implanted, it’s been over 4 and a half years since I had my surgery. In this video I’ll talk about what to expect during a routine pacemaker checkup. Check out some of my previous videos.

Hi Lts, glad to hear that the video helped. I hope you are doing well and have a speedy recovery!
I commented about my pacemaker several years ago and promised to keep you up to date on my situation. At the moment, I can't remember how long I have had my pacemaker, but I'm doing fine, now at 80 years old. I think I was 77 when it was installed. I just completed having cataract surgery for both of my eyes, and it turned out well. My right eye, done last, is now 2 1/2 weeks since the surgery. I'm due to see my heart surgeon for a check-up in October, but not expecting any problems. I haven't seen him since before COVID, but my pacemaker "phones home" with my daily data while I'm sleeping at night. I've been told that if they see any problems that they will phone me. In Feb 2000 I had triple bypass and a valve repair. I've collected seven stents in 1 and 2 stent visits before the pacemaker install, so 7 total heart surgeries since 2000, and still going. I'm glad that you are still doing good too.
Hi CharleyL, it is good to hear from you. Thanks for the update. I’m glad you are doing well. I hope you can see a little better now that you’ve had the cataract surgery. I’m glad medical science and doctors can keep us going.🙂
Im 45 and I have sick sinus syndrome and it wont be long until i have a pacemaker too. Your videos bring me peace in knowing how well hour doing. I wish you could find time to make more videos, would like to know what issues if any you have encountered since having your pacemaker? God bless , thank you
Hi Bonnie, I’m still doing well. Work has been crazy lately, but I will be making some videos soon. Thanks for the kind feedback, and I hope you are doing well too.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻, glad to see that you are doing OK god bless.
Thank you, I hope you’re doing well also.
HI does your pacemaker have a defibulator? My DAD'S PACEMAKER DOES NOT have one Due to the KIND of problem WITH HIS HEART.. I WANT YOU to know that he is DOING SO GREAT! and I can tell he FEELS SO MUCH BETTER! My DAD JUST had his 83rd BIRTHDAY AUGUST 1st. He went into the doctor's office for his check up..HE'S ALSO MONITORED from the Doctors office.. and the company that specialized in his PACEMAKER MONITOR'S him from THEIR OFFICE THROUGH his CELL PHONE. VERY GOOD CARE ALL AROUND. I REMEMBERED what YOU TOLD ME when I GOT your advice a few months ago. THANK YOU SO MUCH! GOD-BLESS YOU 💕💕
Hi Sandra, my device is not a defibrillator, not everyone needs that function. I’m glad to hear that your dad is doing well. Tell him happy birthday for me. Thanks for watching and sharing. All my best.😊
@@CyborgVlog YESS We REALIZE that ALL PACEMAKERS DO NOT have to have a DEFIBRILLATOR. THANK YOU for wishing my DAD a HAPPY BIRTHDAY I will SURELY let him KNOW! 💗 💖 💓
At least you have who to talk to. My doctor doesn't tell me anything. Exercise? What kind of exercises? I'm thinking of going to a pool regularly... Nothing too stressful for the heart, just when I feel that I can do a bit of exercising. I just got for the third time COVID... I'm pretty ok, now. The first 2 days were kinda rough, but it just went away, more like a flu.
Hi, thanks for commenting and sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear that your doctor doesn’t communicate with you very well. Is there an option to go to a different one? For exercise it will be brisk walks and bike, but swimming in the pool is a good option. I recently had COVID again too, but it was mild this time, I took the antiviral this time which helped. I hope you are doing well and wish you the best!
@@CyborgVlog I'm ok man, thanks. Yeah, my doctor doesn't tell me anything about my issue. He just checks it and even gets upset if ask anything. I'm trying to find another one, but it's not that easy. This guy is the one that implanted the device, so he knows very well the whole situation. Take care man, and see you around!
Keep us updated on how you are doing in the future. Thanks
I am glad to hear that you are doing well. I had my pacemaker checkup about a month ago. I had 100% charge left after a year - hmm, can it be accurate? Anyway, I got an echocardiogram today. I hope to hear some good news in a couple days.
Hi Dan, thanks for sharing your experience. If I remember correctly my device reported a full battery during the first few visits, I wouldn’t worry too much about that, but maybe bring it up at your next visit. I hope you get some good news for your echocardiogram as well.
