Did you have to travel far for your surgery? I am 1,800 miles from Mayo and that concerns me. We are thinking of moving to Rochester as my husband also has heart issues of a different kind. In June we visited and thought it a very nice city. Dr. Pochettino is my choice too. I hope to meet him next spring.
Thank you for your kind reply Carol.

We travel about 400 miles to Mayo from Illinois. It has not been a problem to be away from there as after the first year which involved 2 post op checkups, I now go once a year. Because I take methotrexate for giant cell arthritis, I have my blood checked every 3 months but this can be done at home. I am much closer than you so I understand your dilemma of whether or not to move.
BTW, Dr Pochettino is the best, I think.
