If this is your first surgery I would think they would have a programmed schedule for you to return and check your surgery wound and check the function of your device. It should go through a fine tuning process like mine did after surgery wound healed.

Who did your surgery? That surgeon should have had you returning for at least checking your wound. Have you contacted them about return visit.

Per my experience with this I am still recommending a EP for you to see even if you have to drive or fly to get to one. That EP will and can work with your local cardiologist.

I really do not understand your post, you are not seeing anyone. WOW, the device needs checking and programming, and the wound needs to be checked. I go through a home monitor check of my device every 3 months which is sent to my EP. If they see anything they set up an appointment. Once a year I go into the office and they do checks of wires, and other things and fine tune anything that needs attention.
