Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m in the process of scheduling to have a Medtronic loop recorder implanted due to family history of significant cardiac events, personal symptoms (POTS with orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, and possibly SVT’s), and a KCNJ2 genetic mutation that can potentially cause long QT. I’ve been using my Apple Watch + Qaly app to record EKG’s when I experience symptoms. Looking forward to having the loop recorder to help in identifying any issues and cardiac management. I love that you’ve named your devices (gotta make it fun), and I really appreciate your positive outlook in spite of all you’ve been through. Thank you!

Thank you for your honesty, I watched your video a few times before having my loop recorder implanted. I found your video would help reassure me when the anxiety set in. I hope you're well x

Thank you for sharing your journey. You are an inspiration. ❤🙏

There were 5 doctors/ nurses and they were asking me questions but I had a sheet over my face so I felt like an idiot because I didn't know if they were talking to me.Eye contact makes a big difference in conversation lol

thanks for this video, I'm 17 and getting mine tomorrow. every video i can find is about an old person so i really appreciated this one! you have definitly made me feel better about the whole thing. :)

Thank you so much for the information! I am having one put in tomorrow and you put my mind at ease. Hope you received the answers you need. ❤

I just had mine fitted today. Nobody told me to not take ibuprofen. I was sat in an interview, where I proceed to bleed through my white shirt and get taken back to the hospital by my interviewer. If I don't get the job, they'll certainly remember me.

You show your boldness with every video. I was always curious about loop recorders but my so-called doctors at the VA are not real forthcoming with information. Oh, and you don't have to worry about your injection area being "racy". You're beautiful inside and out. ☺

My Cardiologist scheduled my procedure today, thank you for sharing.

My doctor is considering this for me to try. Thank you for your detailed experience so I know what to expect, especially as a woman!

Had my loop put in last May. Almost a year now i've had it. Found out last week they'll be removing it next month, almost a full year. But found out they'll be putting in a Dual Chamber pacemaker. So my loop helped as far as me getting a diagnosis. One metal out and a new one permanently. Good luck to all!

I hope you get more answers 🤗 I have the same implant. I got mine July of last year, after a stroke. I was really bruised and tender for awhile, but now I forget it’s even there. Also, I’ve had multiple MRIs after. The easiest thing to do is to bring the Communicator box with you and the radiology techs will do a download before the test. And I still walk quickly past store metal detectors. 🤣 I’ve never set one off, as of yet. Good luck!

Such a good attitude

Thank you for this video. I am getting a loop recorder installed in 2 weeks.

I am SO glad to hear you make the cyborg joke. That was my first thought when a loop monitor was suggested a year ago after a stroke of an unknown origin. I didn't want to be a cyborg, but I'm slowly coming around and think I will be talking to my cardiologist again.

I just had a loop recorder put in a week ago.Your description of the procedure was very similar to mine. The pressure was pretty intense when they injected it in and the stitches did feel weird

Thank you Lynnea, I hope your well and wondering how your thumper is doing? Your video is helpful but I am really anxious and scared to follow through. I am scheduled for one soon.

Thank you! I had the implant in Nov. How are you doing?

Hi, I have also just had a loop recorder fitted. Can I ask what your symptoms were and what the loop recorder found. Mine is only 5 days old.

Hi, does it ever get better sleeping with this device in? I’m post op day 3, when I try and sleep on my right side the device pokes outwards, I can see it on my skin, very gross. Does it settle into a position where it doesn’t poke out? Thanks

How does it look after inserted? is it noticeable? I am thinking for having it done.

what exactly do you have? I am waiting to be seen to get the implant and I'm super anxious and scared.

Thanks for the video, I

Hey. How are you doing now ? I hope your in great health. I was wandering how long did it take you to recover and did the loop really help in further diagnosing your condition. Thanks in advance and keep up the good spirit !

There's nothing wrong with being a nerd thank you for your video I appreciate it

Lynnea you’re the best! New sub here. My wife was a nurse her father a doctor. Both gone now. She had MS from age 39 to 55. I know she would ask you if you have tried weed when you feel an episode coming on. He was a researcher in medical science. He predicted the gut microbiome but didn’t live to see the amazing research going on today. Poo swapping is becoming a remedy. He would have suggested you and others like you obtain samples from healthy individuals and by enema upgrade your own gut microbiome. This is new cutting edge stuff and too soon to expect your doctor to prescribe it. Just a thought. Were my wife still alive today I know she would have tried it. One it can’t hurt. And two it just might cure. Good luck 🍀 to you Lynnea.

Im going to have mine implant on july 6.. thanks for the information i was scared but now not anymore...

can people still workout/play sports with it?

I am soooo glad I’m not the only one who names my monitors! Lmao

Sorry I am new to you and not sure what exactly you have could you share?

did you go alone or did you have someone alongside for support?

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. Love the Borg analogy :) I do similar things.

Does any heart patient have the implant loop recorder replaced every 3 years

❤️❤️❤️

You are really beautiful and very articulate. How are you?

She made me more scared than ever, now I'm going refuse the implant cause I'm to scared.
