It went so well I’m getting discharged in two hours instead of overnight.

I’m very grateful to dr Natale. He is a gifted and kind individual.

No ablation. I have unknown where internal bleeding. Just the watchman so now I don’t need to bridge and can stop Eliquis for a few days for procedures and surgeries if needed.

We all meet here for the same basic reason yet not 2 of us are twins in our struggle. I think if i could choose a single person at this invaluable site to “catch a break” itd be Susan. Praying this is a step towards a better outcome for you!

Thank you Tom!

He did his magic. I had a twisted/unusual shaped LAA (so I’m told) and yet he was able to insert the watchman in at an angle to achieve a (TEE confirmation) good seal without leaking. I don’t know if anyone else would had been as successful or as skilled as him. I’m really grateful using him.

Good luck Tom with yours!

Flew to Austin today and am his first patient tomorrow; touch up ablation followed by Watchman implant. Only problem -- wife does NOT like early reveille at all much less two days in a row. We must show at 0500.

I arrived 5:15am. It’s so much better to be the first. You are half of asleep already for the anesthesia.

Good luck! You are in good hands.
