I am scheduling surgery for November 2008 unless I get symptoms prior to that date. I am enjoying the summer and playing lots of golf. I think there are alot of people that are asymptomatic and then find out just prior to needing surgery. I had a heart murmur my whole life but only went to a cardiologist after I complained about hearing my heart beating loudly in my ears at nighttime. Glad I went to the cardiologist and will end up having the surgery almost 1 year to the date of being diagnosed. Still no symptoms. I agree with get it done before any damage occurs. Take care everyone and good luck to those having the surgery soon!!
