about pacemaker

Hi everyone, I just got my pacemaker 2 months ago,was pretty scarry, I just turned 60,the dr. used surgical glue which still hasn't come off all the way but I do was it with soft cloth and baby shampoo, does anyone know how long it takes for the glue to wear off ?

I think most of the glue peeled off 2 to 3 weeks after the surgery. Incision looked much better then. I hope yours comes off soon!

It will come off eventually but from experience it does take quite a while to wear off.

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.
