Hello Debbie- You had surgery the following month after mine and I wanted to let you know that yes I am also having a few issues still with one tender area of the full sternotomy that I had on Aug. 20th. of last year. There is a 3 inch area with Keloid scar that is tender and has a tendency to itch a bit and is very tender as it is at the
center portion of the breast area and any lifting work where I am lifting my arms or doing side to side motion seems to still aggravate it even though I have been good to
do stretching, etc. My doctors say that the chest wall area being a very active area is one of the last places to heal up and for some the process takes a while longer than others and to be patient!
Debbie cross Thank you Terri, hope you are doing well.

Coming up on my 2 year anniversary of my Aortic Heart replacement and my scar still itches and I still get some pain in my sternum. No burning pain like you described. Just itches now end then. The sternum pain is down low at the bottom of the ribs and it comes and goes also.

See you originally went to Dr. Gillinov and actually were in operating room before surgery was called off........very unusual to say the least. Didn't they know the results of all tests before putting you under??? Just curious.
Alan from Marietta, Ga here. I'm scheduled for isolated tricuspid valve repair (very rare from what I hear) with Dr. Gillinov on 12/11/14. Fortunately, I think it got caught (from my persistence I might add) before significant heart damage as I'm basically asymtomatic at this point. Looks like Cleveland has several tests lined up for me when I get up there. I've already had $40k worth of insurance costs on testing in Atlanta but assume they want to be extra sure before starting to cut. I'd go in tomorrow if they called and am very grateful to even have the chance to have this repaired as only 5-10 yrs ago, surgeons typically wouldn't do an isolated tricuspid repair unless the patient was symtomatic (ie: more heart damage). Think they've learned that's not the wise approach and are being more aggressive regarding tricuspid surgery.
Hope your recovery starts to smooth out and you're back to normal soon.
Best wishes.

Victoria Lopez I'm also set for surgery with Dr. Gillinov on 12/8/14 (mitral valve repair and other repairs). I have severe MVP, severe MR, PFO, atrial septal aneurysm, and Lingl's efferscences on aortic valve (new findings). Everything got suddenly worse about two months ago. Still running fevers but negative blood cultures.

Debbie cross Alan, I wish you all the best in Cleveland! I have been tested every year since 2006.Cleveland had all my test results and called and said I needed surgery within 6 months.I had 2 full days of testing at Cleveland Clinic before being told by Dr.Gillinov Tuesday afternoon that I needed mitral ,tricuspid valves repaired and a maze procedure.He told us now is the time.Wednesday morning when I woke up in recovery( still on vent),and found out he had changed his mind???? Can not express how upset we were! Nurse there told me in the 30 years she had been at Cleveland Clinic,she had never seen this happen! Anyway,2 cardioversion later,and after passing out in my kayak in the middle of the lake(in July),I called Northwestern Northwestern,Chicago.In less 24 hours Dr.Bonow had an echocardiogram and a TEE showing severe regurgitation and September 26 Dr.McCarthy repaired my valves and did the maze procedure.Of course I think Dr.Knight (electrophysithis),Dr.Bonow (cardiologist), and Dr.McCarthy(surgeon),are wonderful!

Debbie cross Elaine, thank you so much for the prayers. I love PS.31. I have been a bit discouraged this week. It's week 5 and I am still not eating, very nauseated most of the time, and little energy. Incision is still leaking, and that is worrisome. Anyway I need and appreciate your prayers! Hope you have a nice weekend!
