PM implant surgery question about total time.

New to the club and will have  Boston Scientific dual chamber PM implanted next Wed 9/5/18.  Just wondering what the actual time from surgery prep to release is generally.

My PM is to fix very rare but a nasty sudden collapse with heart drop to as low as 27 bpm with immediate recovery to high rate for a few seconds. No nausea or dizziness and back up on about 7 seconds.

Thanks,

Bryan

Everyone is different, hospitals and docs vary.  I have had 5 put in.  If I got a new lead which you certainly get with a first one, you stay the night.  Otherwise go home the same day.  YMMV.
