Hi: I am having similar procedure done at Mount Sinai NYC on 12/7. I am hoping Dr. Allan Stewart - my surgeon, will repair my aortic valve which has some calcification and mild regurgitation. Due to a 5 CM aneurysm, my ascending aorta artery will need to be replaced. Let's wish each other best of luck on the surgery and recovery.

Carmen P Best Wishes for a speedy recovery. I'm eight weeks out from aortic valve replacement. Best advice, take it slow and easy. Schedule your pain meds, don't try to tough it out. Ask for help, even when you think "you can handle it". Use your spirometer....a lot. I was surprised when it was not near as bad as I thought it would be. Good Luck.
Daniel Kung Thanks for the encouragements. I will keep you advice in mind.
