The procedure and how you felt after is a good description. I think all the pointers you gave for preparing were great. I am 2 years post-op (septal myectomy) but did not have a good experience because of further surgeries needed. I am now at the point of getting on heart transplant list unfortunately, but still think if I’m lucky enough to receive a new heart, I will be following surgery the same ways I did in past and as you described above.
