I wanted to find if anyone had Watchman implant done. If so, what are your thoughts about the procedure and how it affects you personally.

Hi all, @frank4848 asks about the WATCHMAN implant (Left Atrial Appendage Closure Device). It was FDA approved in March 2015 as an alternative to long-term warfarin therapy http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/DeviceApprovalsandClearances/Recently-ApprovedDevices/ucm440621.htm

Anyone had it done?
