Hi Melissa, you and I both had the same surgery date. I hope all is well with your recovery and glad to see your post. Scar looks great already. What size of valve did they put in? I believe mine is a 25mm Magna Ease Aortic valve.

Hi, Melissa, God Bless you and your family my friend. Your new"zipper" looks very similar to mine, even though I had MVR repair on 04 April. I'm keeping you in my prayers and have a successful rehab!
