Yes I have a slight latex allergy that I told them about but it's not too red just itches... so I have learned to live with it

To tell you the truth I never even give it a second thought. While growing up it never stopped me from doing anything and to this day my girlfriend or my kids need to remind me that I have one!

Nothing to be nervous about! They'll look at the incision, make sure it's on track. They'll do a pacer check, same as they did before you left the hospital. That's about it!
If your heart rate is higher than it was before, if it goes up on exertion, then you know it's working.
If it's itching excessively, if the redness is getting worse instead of better, call and ask them to take a quick peek. They may have used something on the bandaging that you're allergic to.
