Hey Jerry, your photo caught my eye so I checked out your story. I am 31 and just had a Edwards bovine put in last august at age 30. It was a lifestyle choice for me. It was my second surgery after a failed repair and I am happy to chat about the decision. Overall, I don't think the second operation was any worse than the first and I recovered quickly and was backpacking by early october, back on my bike right after that trip, and back to soccer by mid october. Went skiing lifts open to closed 3 days this winter, and am planning a 12ish day hiking trip in the alps this summer. It seems to me you would be a good candidate for 1 more OHS bovine and then a TAVR.
