It's so frustrating to go to the doctor again and again when you KNOW something is wrong. This happens all too often. Good luck with the valve replacement surgery - I am a mitral valve repair survivor and thriver :) My surgery was in January of this year - open heart, on the bypass and robotic and it went well. If you are looking at different surgeons and are near Los Angeles, Dr. Richard Shemin was my valve surgeon and is head of cardiothoracic surgery at UCLA. I hope you'll keep us informed of how things go. You and your husband are in my prayers.
