Watchman Inplant

Post by orin stepanek » Mon Mar 27, 2023 2:13 am

My doctor has recommended I get the new watchman implant to close off blood clots from forming in my head! I have to be in Lincoln at 7:30 Monday morning! If all goes well I'll post here tomorrow!

For anyone who wants to know more about the device (which I’d never heard of) there’s a clear animation here of the procedure…
https://www.beaumont.org/treatments/watchman

In the accompanying article I was relieved to read that there have been over 43,000 implants done in the US, and that it is not very risky and quite successful in achieving its goals.

Happy it's done and you're awake and alert.
