RNY and pacemakers

I've done well since RNY surgery in Ma, 2006. However, I have been diagnosed with brady-tachacardia (fast and low heart rate rythms). I've had a Holter montior test, showing I had a fast heart rate. Then a year later I had a Event Monitor test, and my pulse was 38 at that time. I spoke to a cardiologist yesterday. Pending the outcome of one more Holter monitor testing next week, the doctor is strongly suggesting I get a pace maker surgincally implanted. My question is: has anyone here with RNY surgery had a pace maker surgery, and any possible side effects as being a RNY patient. I'm 61, and often post answers to new pre op or post op inquiries, but this is my first question to this forum. DAVE
