Aaron Bader Hi Harry - a Ross Procedure patient here too... I'm 5 weeks since my Procedure. Very similar pre-op situation as Ken - bicuspid, significant regurgitation, left ventricle dilation. And was told the same initially - mechanical and all that came with it. SO glad I got a second opinion - that's where I learned of the Ross procedure and glad I did.

My recovery has been nothing short of a blessing... I came home and have not once taken any pain medication. I'm moving and walking all the time... 13K steps today and counting!

The most amazing part is not hearing and feeling the "ker-chunk" of skipped and missed beats anymore. It's the best crazy feeling ever. And like Ken said, no blood thinners.
