I had my procedure done robotically.
That's great John. In and out in 2 days, and back to work in just over 2 weeks. That's about as good as good as it gets with today's technology. I think many of us are hoping that will be a common thing by the time we may need to... Read more.
Yeah. Very happy with the outcome here. I think a lot of it had to do with my age, 48, which is young in the valve repair world, and that I'm in good shape. I wish that everyone has as smooth a time with there recovery as I did.
Wow! how extensive was the repair? Valve and chordae?
Repaired a couple strings and put in a ring. I believe they are gortex. Valve seals great. I had a very noticable murmur. No murmur at all now. Absolutlely incredible.
Great recovery! Go Blackhawks!
