I'm sorry you have to deal with this. They'll go in the same place as they did to place it the first time and redo the wire that's loose. Another surgery is never fun but you've already been through the worst of it.

Loose leads

As a person who had one lead retract the news is not good. You will have to go in to surgery and have it replaced. I had had my 1st pacemaker five days when I began to be shocked by the retracted wire. It was very uncomfortable and painful. Two days later I was back in surgery where they replaced both leads. Good luck. I noticed you live in Yuba City, I was born and raised in Marysville and now live in Lancaster, CA.

I finished 29th in London in 2 hours 20 minutes 30 seconds which is my fastest with or without a device so clearly it didn’t slow me down ! I had no problems apart from some slight chaffing on my scar - more Vaseline next time.
