Ski girl, Yes, the thing is, this is from gallbladder removal. The cyst is where the gallbladder was. I am going to call my cardio today. I really need this aggravation just before Christmas. Thanks so much for the post!

Just one more thing to be concerned about! If the thieves didn't know about it, they will now! Thanks for sharing though. We need to empower ourselves!

Hi all, I was not certain just where to post this, or if I should. My problem is not valve related. I was having some issues with discomfort in the upper ribs. It started on the right side under the rib (for you ladies where the bra goes over the rib area). Also the right side of the chest...

Sounds like they have you covered. It does sound like you are getting close though. I felt the same way. Did not want to put if off any longer than necessary, even though I was scared out of my mind! Take care

Greg, Thinking of you and hope everything turned out well. I HATE those things!!!!!

Hello Joy, You have every right to feel anger! This is tragic, and I don't understand just why the dr's did not take steps much earlier on. I certainly feel for you and your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hate to mention this at this time, but you might consider a law...

Happy thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!

Hello Saskia! Congratualtions on one year! That's just TERRIFIC. It's an important milestone. Take care!

I have never heard of any of this before. I wonder why my dr's never mentioned it? I take it back, one of the nurses at my cardio's office last year told me to eat yogurt, when I was taking an antibiotic for dental work. Hope you are feeling 100% soon Tommy! Thanks Tommy and everyone for...

Halley, I took metoprolol until about 4 months ago. It made me very larthagic, and what I would describe as fuzzy headed, in a fog. I was also alot more forgetful. I took only 12 1/2mg daily, but it did effect me. I don't feel as tired, and my memory has improved. Take care

That women is AMAZING!!!!!! I can not believe she is a 101! She doesn't look, act or SOUND like a women of that age. GOD BLESS HER

My cardio on a post surgery check-up ( not long after my AVR) told me he did not think I would have another surgery. Meaning it would be done with this procedure. He was very positive about it. Only time will tell.

I certainly admire you Steve, you're a man in control of the situation. Way to go!!!

Todd, sooo sorry for the bumps, but it sounds like things are going to look up for you soon. Stay positive, and hang in there! Take care

Congrats chadh! It's just wonderful to be home, and have the surgery behind you!! Take care of yourself. Rest, eat, and don't push yourself too hard. You will recover, all in due time!

Thanks for the update! It's great news to hear your Mom is doing well. I am sorry she is in pain, but you can hardly escape that. Everyone has a certain degree of pain. I can relate to the back pain too. I have a tricky back myself. Not fun! Please keep us updated when you can. Tell...

Hi Steve, Yes it was just about this time for me too, when we scheduled surgery. I had mine in Feb. Steve I've been reading your posts for quiet awhile now. You certainly have empowered yourself. Partly with all the knowledge you have gained, being a member of this wonderful support group...
