Congratulations. What a ride, You wait and wait and the next thing you know, it's just about here. Diana

It seems like if things can go wrong, they will for you. You have had a struggle. I hope you don't have to have something done with your thyroid before you can have surgery. this is really the pits. I hope they can get those strings pulled. Hang in there. Diana

congratulations. The emotions are normal. but that doesn't make it any easier. I tried not to think about it until just before. I am so gald it is over and done. Hooray for you. Diana

I didn't have to see a cardiologist and I had just had my echo done and a very recent EKG. I would imagine they will go an EKG and an exam. they may also do a treadmill test. If those look good that will probably be all. I have murmurs and 2 are from phen fen, that is why I had to have an echo before my PCP would let me look at any surgery. Diana
