Wolf mini maze

Have any of you here had mini maze surgery? Dr Randall Wolf at Houston Methodist pioneered this procedure around 2005. I am considering having it done.

I had it done. I don’t remember it hurting at all, and you are back to normal very fast, other than not flying Or lifting stuff for a while because they have to collapse your lungs during the surgery and it takes time for the seal to be solid. It was surprisingly little pain at all. It’s kind of weird (no pain) when they pull the temporary pacemaker leads out of you when you are awake after they are certain your heart is beating properly.

Did it work for you! I'll be flying to Texas to have it done, when will I be able to fly home afterwards? Dr. Wolf told me I'd be there 9 or 10 Days

Dear Bill. Your post was one year ago and I wondered if you had the WMM done, and wanted to ask how well you are today. Thank you and all the best, Saul
