There is ab-sooooooooo-lute-ly nothing better than opening my inbox and reading these types of emails… Thanks Shelby!

Hi Adam,

Seven years ago I was diagnosed with [1] a Ross Procedure.  On November 13, I had my surgery with Drs. John Randolph and Ron Elkins at the Oklahoma Heart Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

I had my surgery on a Thursday and was back home the following Monday.  I am currently three weeks post-op and am doing some light running with no issues.  Really, the only problem I am having is premature ventricular contractions, which is being treated with 50mg Toprol XL.

Every day is better than the previous one, so I guess I am headed in the right direction.  I feel great with very little pain or discomfort.  Ultrasound results indicate everything is now perfectly normal.

I would like to make your readers and future patient about my surgeons and the Oklahoma Heart Hospital (OHH).  I did a great amount of research prior to my surgery and if there are better surgeons or facilities in the United States, I couldn’t find them.  Top notch, all the way.  OHH provided me with the best medical care I have ever received.

Anyway, I purchased your [2] heart valve book prior to my surgery and found it to be extremely helpful.  I hope you are doing well.

Regards,

Shelby R. Hudgens
