How long do you wait to hear from Mayo?

Posted by ronitb @ronitb, Jul 5, 2018

Hi, I am new to this group. My husband has HOCM and five blockages. He has been told by his local cardiologist he need bypass and thickening removed. His doctor has reached out to a doctor at Mayo. He was called by someone from his doctors office that he would hear from a doctor from Mayo soon. That was Monday today is Thursday, no word. How long does it take for things to happen? We want this over the sooner the better.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Support Group.

He’s 74, the recovery is going to be hard on him not used to taking things at a slow pace.

Question, my husbands surgery was on August 3rd, left Mayo on August 10. Approx two weeks later he started with a dry cough. His local cardiologist gave him some pills for the cough that help, but still bad. Wondering if anyone else had this?

My husband had septal myectomy on October 4 his sturgeon was Dr Schaff and cardiologist Dr Geske I have nothing but amazing things to say about our whole experience. We arrived from San Diego on September 29 and on October 1 started the tests everything flowed not one hiccup. Surgery went well on the 4th and my husband was discharged on the 4th day postop. We stayed in the hotel for 2 days and flew home on the 11 th Oct. the whole experience was awesome.

So glad to read that all went well. Mayo leaves you with a very positive feeling about the experience.

I agree, the nurses at Mayo are the best. I wish nurses everywhere could be trained as the ones at Mayo. They truly put their heart into their work.
