I had my myectomy last September at Mayo and feel great.
I’m wondering what tips you have about continued health, since it never goes away? I know about controlling blood pressure, exercise and healthy diet , but is that enough to keep me from needing another surgery in the future? I walk about 4-5 miles a day.

@mbi Welcome! It's about 6 months since you had your myectomy and you are moving ahead! You seem to be doing well! It's great that you are walking which I am always told is the best exercise and are mindful of the two other important partners to good health you can control. Do ask your cardiologist about further things you can do. We've had postings on our blogs from people who needed another myectomy, the outstanding factor seemed to be that it was done at a non-COE. Do ask your cardiologist about the liklihood of another surgery; you had the best perform yours at Mayo!
