Just found out that my 12-yo valve is breaking down again… waiting game begins. Sometimes I think this is the hardest part.

Barry Brasseaux Very sorry to hear you are looking at another surgery. I have been through two OHS myself and would certainly not want to have a third. The process has improved so much over the years and there are more options. My second OHS which was not that long ago was a much faster recovery than my first. I am certain you will do great with your third procedure.

Grace Mason Wishing you well Stephanie ❤️

Ana K Hi Stephanie, what kind of valve did you have the first two times? Can they do TAVR?

DeWayne Adamson Sad to hear. What type valve do you have??

David Rasmusson Sorry that you may have to go through that again. You know the way.

Stephanie Cole Thanks all…I’m so grateful to be back on this site. It got me through my last surgery years ago. What a whirlwind of emotions.
I have a bovine pulmonic valve… and yes really hoping for a TAVR. Well, was hoping for nothing - but would prefer cath lab.
