my mom had pace maker andLoveBabyJesus said:Hi Susan -- I think she is
Hi Susan -- I think she is talking about markers they put inside your breat after a biopsy to mark the area for mammos or for surgeouns to be able to identify the spot to be removed. These are metal markers, very small.
my mom had pace maker and flew often and never an issue...SHE carried card with info..I do not recall ever an issue...

I've flown many times without setting anything off with my markers,so no worries about that. I worried about my port, wasn't sure if it was metal, but it didn't set anything off either.

I don't think they will set off anything at the airport. The one that was placed in me was titanium also, but, it was taken out with the tumor. I wonder why so many of you still have them in.

If you ever need me, I'll stand next to airport security shouting, "take it off, girl -- woo-hoo!" and throwing dollar bills at you....I'm here for you, Marge. :-)

I only had 1 titanium marker and they removed it during surgery.
