Melissa Causey, 11 Months After Ross Procedure Surgery… Feeling Great!!!

Posted By Adam Pick On July 22, 2008 @ 7:54 pm In Patient Success Stories | No Comments

There is nothing better than hearing from one of my readers after their open-heart surgery recovery [1] is complete.

Recently, I received a very nice note from Melissa Causey. As you might remember, Melissa had a Ross Procedure (aortic valve replacement) [2] in 2006 by Dr. William Ryan [3] in Texas. She attached a recent picture that I have posted below.

FYI, here is a picture of Melissa just three days after her Ross Procedure in the hospital.

Melissa writes to me, “Dear Adam – I’m now 11 months post-op from my Ross Procedure and feeling great! My Uncle Ted gave me your heart valve surgery book [4] a month before my surgery, and it is one of the best gifts I could have ever received. Your book really helped to prepare me as well as my family for my surgery and recovery. After reading your book, I was also able to communicate more effectively with my surgeon and cardiologist.”

Thanks so much for sharing Melissa! I really appreciate it!

Keep on tickin!
