Hell-o Tricia,
Its normal to be apprehensive going into surgery. Surgeons have been doing this for lots of years and they have got it down. I had my Aortic valve replaced 19 months ago and I feel so much better I cant believe I put it off several times before cardiologist said you cant wait any longer.
It was not anywhere near as bad as I thought. Sure there is recovery time and you will be weak and shaky at the first but it will pass and you will look back and say like myself Why did I wait. All The best and I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Hi Tricia,
Like you, I’ll need OHS and will have a mechanical valve. I didn’t see my cardiologist for 2 yrs until I had some symptoms that prompted the need to go in. All of this is a bit shocking and internally in denial hoping they are wrong about needing AVR. For me, it’s positive thinking and thankful for my supportive husband. Good luck with your surgery! I still have a few more weeks of waiting.
