Deborah Siegel This is me, Deborah Siegel (aka Maya). I'm due for aortic valve replacement surgery on April 27, 2017 with Dr. Mohan Sarabu, the Head Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon of Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie NY. This is my first surgery EVER. I'm preparing myself as best as I can. Cooking up lots of good soups and other meals to make my return home easier. May well go to a Rehab Facility for 2-3 weeks after my hospital stay. Suggestions welcomed about what to pack for rehab and whatever you all have learned to make recouperation easier.

You sound ready for your surgery and recoup. I'm also trying to focus on after the surgery tho anxious and nervous. Prayers for a successful surgery for both of us.
