    John - I hope your surgery went smoothly and you're home recuperating. I wish I'd volunteered to be your angel. I've been thinking of you and pulling for a comfortable, quick recovery period! I hope your wife came through this okay, too. Love Dennie

Here's my story


Scheduled...Finally!
on March 9, 2007 1:43 pm
Well, I got the final call everything is approved, I am having the DS procedure on April 25th. 

I am excited!

I know the road will not be easy, but I look forward to the challenge. Yesterday, I went to the cardiologist for an annual EKG and nothing has changed. I have a LBBB, but the doctor said the risk of something happening was minute as compared to keeping the weight on another day longer than necessary. That was good enough for me.

I would like to know what to expect from here so I going to be reading more in the coming weeks regarding this benchmark in my life.
