Hi Trudy. I'm sorry to hear you need to have surgery. I had my aortic valve replaced among other things 2+ years ago. While I did have some complications for a couple months, I feel great now and have no restrictions. I no longer have to worry if I'm pushing it too much. I know it is disheartening to get the news. I was shocked even though I knew most of my life that I needed this done at some point. Remember that the outcome is very positive and the odds are in your favor. Do your diligence and choose a good hospital and surgeon. Then trust the professionals. You'll feel so much better once recovered. Sure, it's no picnic in the park but it is a journey worth taking. Let us know if you have any questions. We're all here to help!
