Now that you are on the other side of your surgery, I hope all went well and you are on your way to recovery. I had Aortic valve replacement and an aneurism graft October 8th, 2012. Good luck and keep on ticking.

Thanks for checking in Mark. Did you develop a cough ? not sure if its common or i'm catching my husbands nasty cold even though he's kept his distance.

Prayers for you Pam as many people prayed for me when I had minimally invasive mitral valve repair surgery in October 2018. I had a "peace that surpassed all understanding." Went through some pain, of course, but my family took great care of me. I did 36 cardiac rehab workouts... Read more.

Coughing is very common. I am two months post surgery. Still coughing and still with fluid on one lung. Drs. Have told me it's quite normal and for some just takes time to resolve.

Thanks Karen. I've learned that I can manage the coughing but I better brace for those sneaky sneezes :)

My diagnosis was similar to yours, and my bicuspid valve was replaced 8 days ago. I'm sending you my best wishes for a smooth procedure and swift recovery.
