I remember reading a post from " running mama"'on this site ( and I think that is the correct name). She seemed to be pleased with hers although it is new. I hope she might respond to your message.

The micra is the new leadless, wireless ect pacemaker. I had this done a week ago. There are 800 of us and just hoped someone may be on here.

Apparently mine is an antique (not complaining).

I wouldn't qualify for a leadless anyway.

I hope you have much success with it.

Thanks Grateful Heart. I'm a bit nervous because it is so new but happy with everything so far. The recovery time was almost nil. I went in on Wed and was home Thursday. Shopping by Friday. Not sure if the anxiety is just because all of this is still a shock to me or because it is a new device. Perhaps both.

I HAVEONE!!

Hi there!

I have had my Micra TPS since November 10th. Although I had some trouble at first (related to my anxiety NOT the pacemaker) I am completely back to normal but better!!!

Funny thing, I have been busy with getting another degree and have not been on for a while. I just finished a paper on my Micra TPS and wanted to come say hi, GLAD I DID!

Tammy, I was sore and not able to walk good for about three weeks, then I was back on my treadmill. Now, almost three months later, all the tests are good, the pacemaker saves my tushy (I have stage 2 and sometimes 3 heart block mobitz type 2). I have learned to accept and trust this little amazing technological development in my chest and would not have it any other way. Research or not, I am more comfortable with this device than I ever would be with leads, etc. I was back to normal lifting weights, etc in a month. We are truly blessed to be a part of ground breaking research, we will help set the standard for pacemakers of the future.

IF I can help you in any way, just private message me, I'll be more than GLAD to help out!!

Thanks!

ME TOO

My chest was a bit sore but that was it. I was out shopping 2 days later. My handler (husband) protested but I couldnt stand being shut in the house.

I did not have a heart block in fact, I just had a heart cath 2 years ago and the results were fantastic. I only had pauses ect. Perhaps that is why I was not as sore?

I too feel I would be miserable with leads ect. so for that I am very grateful.

Oh and I just got my degree in Computer Information Systems. Thankfully, I just finished up before all of this hit.

Hi

I'm due to have a Micra fitted in a couple of weeks time. Can see this thread is a few years old so just wondering how everyone is doing now? 

I can't seem to find out much info on the Micra so any feedback would be great.

Thanks 

Still doing great!

It was a good decision I feel to have the Micra.  I've had no issues that I would not have had anyway.  I feel very confident in my device and med team.  If you have any questions feel free to ask. 

old leads taken out?

Did any of you have the old leads taken out?

I didnt as this was the first time I had a PM.  I believe it was runningmama's first one as well but not absolutely certain.
