Brian Holland 06/11/2014. Saw my Surgeon on Friday. He cannot understand why I am as fit as I am. No symptoms but serious MV leakage, Moderate AV leakage, 3 Bypasses required. Anyhow after discussions he decided to delay for 3 months. So that's where I am at the moment. Now looking forward to the Webinar next week.
