Does my daughter's pacemaker surgery need to be canceled?

My 17 year old daughter will be having pacemaker surgery in May. Does my daughter's pacemaker surgery need to be canceled?

I don't believe so.
That is a good question. I would ask her electrophysiologist (pacemaker doctor) that question. If it is an elective procedure then postponing it might be a smart thing to do. If she needs the pacemaker soon or there are other significant issues making it a high priority then I would do the procedure. Your doctor should be able to help you make that decision.
