Bette Phillips "Met with cardiothoracic surgeon today regarding valve replacement. Have to get more testing: CT scan, pulmonary function study, carotid ultrasound, and meet with another surgeon before surgery can be done.
Planning to do TAVR surgery if all goes as planned. No dates scheduled. It will take a while to get it all done. Loved the team but had to wait 2 1/2 hrs in waiting room then an hour with doctors."

I'm glad things went well with the surgeon you met. It's not uncommon to need a number of tests ahead of the surgery. I hope each step of your journey will go smoothly.
