Hello Mehrad! I hope your operation was a big success. I'm now close to 2 months post-operative after undergoing a Ross procedure in Canada near where I live. I opted for the Ross because I'm hoping to continue the outdoor activities that I've practised all my life. When you're up to it, please let us know how you're doing. Best wishes!

Mehrad Yaghmai Thanks, I think you are right, I feel as I am ready for this. I find it incredible what surgeons (and the whole team) are able to do. It's still a bit daunting to think about the cardiopulmonary bypass and being on such a machine, I understand how it works and how long its been in use, but it's still such a strange thought to be going on it.

Marie Myers Totally understand what you are saying. I have been a nurse anesthetist for 41 years, and have done some cardiac anesthesia early in my career. It was tough for me to understand that I would be going through it all. You know the old joke goes, “what is the difference between major and minor surgery?i Minor surgery is what happens to other people.” But seriously, it is miraculous what can be done today. I am humbled to have been through it, and come out the other side. You will too! Keep us posted on you journey, it really helps everyone!
