I had open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve on March 3, 2022 due to severe aortic stenosis. My valve was so severe there was no way to repair it. It had to be replaced. Also I had to have the procedure open heart that could not due it through the less invasive procedure. Recovery takes time so be patient with yourself. I also went through 6 wks of cardio rehab. One year post op, I am doing well and thankful. Sending hugs and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Wishing you all the best for your surgery today--and a smooth recovery!

Eleanor Erdogan Thank you so much and I am going to carry all of your good wishes until my surgery date May 1st yikes I cannot believe it keeps getting canceled and pushed back this time it's because I had a problem with one of my teeth in my mouth and they couldn't put the valve in because of the infection in my tooth. So now it's definitely May 1st I can't handle another setback but I love you all for commenting thank you so much

Patricia Dillon I'm new to this group..but itis nice to have support from those who actually have had surgeries. It gets scary at my age (75) but I'm a survivor and looking forward to some more years to enjoy my family and grandchildren. I need an aortic valve replacement as mine is not working much anymore. I'm hopeful my surgeon can fix me up so I can have a better quality of life!
