Hi Julie.....I am in the same boat as you! Bi cuspid and stenosis. I have cancelled two surgery dates due to fear. My dad died also. I have so many questions and no answers. It seems so many people post here pre surgery but then not many afterwards 😔 Did you set a date yet ?

Eddie Patton I am here two years post avr. I am at your service.

I hear you on the fear, Kathi. It's hard.

Surgery is relatively safe these days. That doesn't mean recovery is easy, just that surgery itself is safer. But every case is singular.

Marie Myers Still posting 6 weeks post AVR and aneurysm resection. Happy to answer questions...

Henry Brouwer Hi, you are right that time seems to fly after surgery and we all forget to post how we are doing. I had AVR surgery on April 11th and went with a tissue valve. All is going well to-date. If you want to chat or have any questions, please feel free to reach out. God bless.

Julie, similar to yourself, I pictured my eventual surgery sometime in the distant future. I was 60, active, in good shape and asymptomatic. When I learned that my heart was starting to enlarge because of moderate to severe MVR, came as a shock. The future was now! After 2 heart surgeon opinions and 3 cardiologist opinions,( 1 of which was my brother-in-law) I set the date. Any regrets? Just one. I set the operating date too far in advance. Surgeon appointment~Jan 18th; Date of surgery~April 4th. If you can, save yourself some anxiety and schedule your date as soon as feasibly possible. I'm now 35 days post op and progressing well. You will be progressing even better. God Bless you on your journey!

Rose Madura I had an cardiac ablation in 2007 for SVT and it was very successful. Yes, this site has been helpful in seeing that we aren't the only ones with questions and seeing others who have gone through it and are doing fine is very encouraging, isn't it?
