Hey Bill, I just had my Mitral Valve repaired three months ago, it's not that bad at all and you'll feel so much better afterwards!

You are so right. Time to get it done. I'm 5 weeks out from mitral valve repair. They also did a left atrial appendage ligation to decrease future afib. It's a simple procedure they can do during surgery!

Yeah, Marianne, afib was never an issue over the years with the MVP until the colonoscopy, so I plan to inspect this carefully with my surgeon on the 10th. Hope you are well or at least better now.
