A second thought I’ve just had. To each his own. I would have jumped on it. There was a time years ago when I swore I would DIE before I had a fake man made device device ever put in my body again. And I would take a chance on this before dealing with blood thinners any day. And if the man...

I can’t find a facility on line that does the Ozaki technique in America for an adult. Does anyone know if/where it’s done for adults in the USA? I’ve already had one go round with having a serious medical problem solved by using my own flesh. Total comfort and no rejection.

I’m scheduled for TAVR on Thur 9/19/19 at Emory St. Joseph’s in Atlanta. The surgeon communicates well and has done 700+ TAVR procedures. He’s personable, respectful, and answers any cock-eyed question. The prior bad luck I’ve had with doctors causes me to have post traumatic Emory disorder...

Im having TAVR on Thur 9/19/19. My Dr called me about a week ago and said that I have a tiny woman’s measurements and the best fit he can get is with the Medtronic Evolute Pro. So, at some point I have to give control over to my dr who has done 700 TAVR’s. I’m requesting to be conscious...

Oh man, nobody should have to go through that. Please keep us posted as you can. Don’t try to overdo at all. Sending best wishes and thinking of you daily.

I don’t know where you’re located, but you won’t likely have a successful law suit. Why? Because he can say this was his educated board certified opinion and it MET THE STANDARD OF CARE. The biggest problem is that in America, LOUSY is often the standard of care, with SC, TN, and NM being...

Before my grandmother died when I was age 10, she and I loved to see the ladybugs in her flower garden. She said that after she’s gone, if I was having a hard time, if I saw a ladybug, it would be a sign from her that everything would OK. Fast forward to age 68. I get off the phone with the...

How are the September surgeries going? I think you guys will have great doctors. I was treated for breast cancer in 2013 at the UNC Lineberry Cancer Center in Chapel Hill. They were super organized. Good outcome. I traveled there and stayed with my son and his clan for 3.5 months. They...

Thanks so much for your good wishes. The doctor HIMSELF called this AM and changed the date to Thur, Sept 19th, 2019. This is so my regular cardiologist can be in the OR to help with using the Sentinel Filter that prevents stroke. Also they are going to use the very newest, just approved by...

I'm Ladybug. I'm a married 73 yr old grandmother of seven, with two sets of twins born in the same year. I was raised by my grandparents in the NC mountains in the 50's and they died of heart trouble. I was a devastated 10 year old that lost my grandmother, and somehow sunk even more when my...

Harriet, hang in there girlfriend. I’m up for TAVR on this coming Thursday, 9-5-19. I’m depressed about my pending new normal. What you’ve described is what I fear. What ugly surprise will raise it’s ugly head? At 3 AM, I was googling “declining TAVR.” That doesn’t seem like a good...

Wow! I’m having TAVR on 9-5-19. I hope I have that outcome.

Are you nervous? I am. It’s the fact of how in dealing with the hospital, their left hand doesn’t have a clue what the right hand is doing. And, I’m sweating bullets over what my new normal might be.

Nothing the FDA does inspires me. This is not my first go round with a failed device approved by the FDA. So, I was supposed to be getting the Sapien 3 “installed” next week, Thursday 9-5-19. A week ago I sent a portal message to the interventional cardiologist doing this procedure. It was...

Harriet, You are an inspiration to me. I’m getting ready to have TAVR on 9-5-19. How silly I feel when I only have severe AS and lung damage from breast cancer radiation. I love when people are so honest as to say they would not permit all of the interventional tricks anymore. I feel that...

CatDad82, You are recovering, I’m sure. But please let us know how you are doing. Well wishes... Ladybug
