Janet,
I just had my consult yesterday at Johns Hopkins Hospital for my mitral valve repair surgery. I am scheduled for July 11, 2022 for my surgery and you are absolutely right ...it is a rollercoaster of emotion. I work with a doctor who recently had heart surgery at the CC and he has done quite well as I am sure you will.
Janet McLain Thank you Clare! You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers too!

Hi Janet. I am betting you will do really well in Cleveland next week. I had mitral and tricuspid valve repair at the CC in November of last year. It was nowhere near as difficult as I feared it would be. They are really, really good at this - and really good at keeping you comfortable after the surgery. In my case, I had surgery (full sternotomy) on the Thursday before Thanksgiving and I felt pretty normal except for some fatigue within a week. By Christmas it was like it never happened. Good luck!
Janet McLain Thanks George! Your positive comments are so uplifting!!
