Well, I am new here and and my name is Ted and I have recently started my journey to taking control of my body instead of my body controling me. I have met with the surgeon, gotten all my medical records sent to surgeon and met with my cardiologist for his blessing. The Surrgeon has filed all information with insurance and just waiting on them now. I am having a PET scan monday on my heart, just as a precaution from my Cardiologist. I am hoping for everything to fall in place around mid July. I am very excited about the things to come. Should be a fantastic journey!

Good for you, Ted! Keep us updated--we'll be rooting for you!

Congratulations on starting this journey! You'll find there's a lot of good information on this forum from folks going through what you are... Good luck
