Re: myectomy sch dec 29 cleveland ????
Hi Joe,
I'm a newbie to the board too.
I'm scheduled for myectomy dec 9 or so at Cleveland Clinc also.
Dr Lever is my doc, and Dr Smedira is the surgeon
My local cardio only wanted to an ICD, but we went to see Dr. Maron in Minnesota , and he recommended a myectomy..
I'll keep you updated.. Hopefully I do as a well as Stuart and Tigger
Take care,
Edwin

Hi Joseph.
If you have any questions about the surgery and recovery, you can PM me (you too Edwin).
My Myectomy was on 2/18 at New England Medical.
I'm guessing you are a very determined individual, because you ended up in some of the best hands an HCM patient can be in.Fx

Joe
Good for you, for being so vigilant, you've made a good decision, having a myectomy. There are plenty of us here, as you can see with the myectomy experience, so that can be reassuring. Let us know about any questions & concerns.
My prayers are with you.RONNIE
