Sounds like a loop recorder or reveal which many have I suspect. There are two types. one about the size of a memory stick and the newer ones which are about the thickenss of a pencil and can be injected.

I had one put in about three years ago. Battery is still working (supposed to last 3 years) handy to have the data when needed. Procedure was easy. Hope yours went well.

How are you doing? I was told after I had mine in for a couple of days, that the dr. was going to put in a pace maker. The next day he called me back and said he reviewed my stats and decided not to put in pacemaker and he didn't know what was wrong with me!
