I had aortic valve repair (not replacement) 4 years ago up at UCLA. I had chosen Dr. Laks because he was known for being inventive. He gave me the option of repairing the valve..which could have lasted me my whole life..but with my luck it lasted me up until now. I am going to have to have surgery this December and am investigating the Ross Procedure. I met with a surgeon today that said he would rather not replace my valve with a pig valve, that he thinks the Ross Procedure would benefit me a great deal, seeing as how i'm just turning 21 this December (2008) and haven't had kids yet. Does anybody know of anybody that has had the Ross Procedure? I was referred to a surgeon up in Orange County that is known for doing it...and was wondering if anybody has any other recommendations? I was also wondering if there were any support groups or anything like that that I could possibly look into. I was depressed after my last surgery..and having it again so soon kinda has me all freaked out. Thank you! Hey Guys!

I live in Rialto and have been diagnosed with an aorta regurgitation problem and have been told that I will need valve replacement surgery. Any responses wold be greatly appreciated.

It is scarey stuff. I am 6 months past that now and want you to know that you will get here too. I think it takes longer to heal than the surgeons tell us..at least this has been my experience. It is a very invasive surgury which effects us on all levels. I too experienced various degrees of depression usually dependent on how I felt. I believe that feeling fear and doubt and frustration are so normal along with depression. Keep asking for support..it helps. One day at a time. The best of health to you. Christine For Brian
