Risks (was Re: Surgery - 9 Aug ...

You could be right about the morbidity rate being related to the fact

that we're high-risk. This is also a rather complicated surgery, esp.

compared to something like appendectomy. One of the things that is

helping me make my decision is that I ended up having a full cardiac

evaluation done in February - a muscle spasm in my back did a good job

of imitating a heart attack, and really gave me a scare. Anyway, I

came back from a cardiac cath with an absolutely clean bill of health

as far as my heart is concerned, and I'm feeling like maybe I ought to

act now before I develop any problems there.
