    Re: myectomy

    Vicki, thanks so much for sharing about your experience. I was wondering what the after effects would be like; since they have given me the option of having this surgery. Glad to hear you are doing so well.

      Vicki, I've read all of your posts. So excited to hear your good reports. I am coming to Hopkins cause my youngest daughter lives there. Doctors in Dallas are talking about either mitrial valve replacement or myectomy so what you've experienced really makes me feel better. Thanks for sharing!!
