Yes, I pointed this out to him last week. I am a small lady so the wires are ok. I assume they will fix this uncomfortable issue when the generator is replaced. I posted here because I am proof that the generators can shift.

Oh yea the can shift. I had a surgery on heart to put in a direct wire to heart for my pacemaker as the one in vein had come out.
The surgeon, not a EP, had to take ICD/Pacemaker out to connect new wire. He did not set up the pocket for my device (mine is under my chest muscle).
Once I healed I noticed the device moving drastically when I made certain movements. This was never the case before the surgery. I had a new device implanted years later and it was correctly put into a pocket type holder.
With the old one I could press my hands together and the device would more 6 inches.
