Robert's Guestbook

Hello Robert, Just wondering how your AVR surgery went. Hope you are doing well, and on the road to recovery. My story is very similar to yours, and am seeing surgeon on Nov. 4th. God Bless you today

Hello Robert- I want to wish you a smooth journey with your surgery and hope you and your "Team" have you in recovery so that you can join the rest of us! It is truly amazing after all the waiting to wake up with a new start and the satisfaction of knowing you are ready again to move forward getting healthier and healthier! The best to you and your Family. Go into surgery with confidence and strength!

Rooting for you from Clearwater! Do what they tell you, and try to keep a positive attitude. My AVA was close to yours at .7. I feel terrific now, better than I have in a decade. Keep walking, breathing, and resting :) -Meredith

Hi Robert, Great to meet you and welcome to our community! I am hopeful that the educational information and wonderful people at this website will help you through your journey. Like you, I had a bicuspid aortic valve disorder. If you need anything, please let me know. Keep on tickin! Adam Pick (patient & website founder)

Welcome to our heart community. You will find so much helpful information here on this site. Everyone is helpful,caring,supportive,and have lots of information to share with pre-op and postop friends in the community. As far as a less invasive procedure goes. That is the type I had. My mitral valve was replaced. The incision was made under the right breast. Its less invasive,although it was still invasive to me. I am seven weeks post op and started back to work part time at five weeks post op. It is amazing what these gifted surgeons can do to help us lead longer lives with a healthier heart. Be sure to ask questions from the heart community. I also would recommend Adam's book Patients guide to heart valve surgery. This book helped me to know what to expect during surgery and after. You can order online. Again a big welcome. Mia from Michigan class
