Hey Jeffrey! Congrats on 10 years my Stelzer Ross Brother. I am 10 days out of surgery and day one at home. As you know, I am so blessed to have had Dr. Stelzer repair my heart and save my life. I’m happy to hear your living your fullest life. That’s wonderful news! I’m just beginning my recovery process at home now and look forward to any and all progress I can make. Wishing you the best 🙏🏽❤️

Jeffrey Shebovsky WOW! Congrats to be on the other side. It's amazing! You will do great. It's hard to believe how fast it goes. I seriously feel like I never even had surgery, let alone such a major one. Best of luck to you for a speedy and uneventful recovery and a great life ahead.

Timothy Andre Thank you Jeffrey, I appreciate the kind words of encouragement.

Jeffrey Shebovsky Hey Adam. Great to see and hear from you! Now that is cool! I love your personal touch. I owe it all to you buddy. Had I not read your book I would never have known about the Ross nor that it was even an option. And this website...wow. Amazing. You have done a great service to the heart valve community. Hope you are well and hope one day we can meet in person.

Man, 10 years flew by. I never asked you about, probably after the first year. Here’s to the success and 10 years of kicking ass!

Jeffrey Shebovsky Thanks Jeff. Tell me about it. Can't believe it's been 10 years. Blows my mind. Hope you are well.

Hi Jeff! I'm scheduled to undergo the Ross procedure with Dr. Stelzer next month! I had already made this decision when I came across your story... so it was good to confirm what I believe will be the right choice. Secondly, I appreciate you taking the time to write the very detailed personal Journal entries! They are a tremendous help at a time when I'm trying to remain confident while minimizing nerves and anxiety. Your suggestions around guided visualization and the Peggy Huddleston book (I ordered today) are extremely helpful and quite frankly good advice I've not read anywhere else. So thank you for all of your help... to this point and for what I'm sure will be a big help in the coming weeks and months! - Matt

Jeffrey Shebovsky Hi Matt,

Thanks for writing. I am happy to hear that my journal was helpful to you. And yes, the guided visualization was amazing and SO helpful. This one is awesome and the main one I used pre-surgery"

https://www.healthjourneys.com/audio-library/surgery-prep-recovery/successful-surgery

This one I used post surgery and included healing affirmations and visualizations. I literally used it in ICU as soon as I could.

https://www.healthjourneys.com/audio-library/surgery-prep-recovery/two-guided-meditations-for-cardiac-icu-rehab-config

Best thing you can do is be healthy mentally and physically. My recovery, as you have read, was nothing short of spectacular.

You are truly with the best surgeon and human being in Dr. Stelzer and he is 6 years more experienced now than when he did mine. I am so glad he is still doing surgeries. Amazing! Please say hello from me and send him my best. He is a special guy.

If you would like to speak just shoot me an email and I will send you my cell number. jshebovsky11@gmail.com

Best of luck to you. It will be tough at first but you will be amazed at how fast recovery speeds along. Just look at where I was 6 days post op walking the streets of NYC and where I was even 2 weeks post. Hard to believe.

I am still doing GREAT now just past 6 years. Zero issues. Play baseball, work out, work like crazy. It truly is like this surgery never even happened.

I look forward to welcoming you to the Ross family.

Again, good luck and I am here if you want to talk or email.

Jeff
