I have gone from 178 to 220. I had Rheumatic Fever when I was a child and I was just diagnosed with Mitral Valve Stenosis. Have cardiology consult Jan 7th, 2009. I am taking Lasix 80mg and Spiralactadone 50 mg every day. If I have to have the open heart version of replacement, how long will I be down and out? I am a nurse and we are the worst patients! Thanks Susan Hi Adam:
