Kate Watson I just read your story Mike. I am new to this site too and can't believe how many younger people like us are dealing with this condition. I saw you are from Seattle. I live an hour and a half north of there. I am currently trying to decide where to go for my surgery (it will be my second one). I'll be curious to see where you end up going. I know the fear you speak of all too well, and I'm dealing with it again now while I await to figure out my next plan. But you will get through it and it's good you are here for the support.

Lauren Burt Hey mike! Hang in there.. I know how terrifying and surreal this whole thing feels. I too am 42, have two kids and had no symptoms. I went in for a routine check and they found a heart murmur. I ended up needing surgery right away to repair my valve and also reconstruct my sternum which was crushing my heart (that I had no idea about). But I am now 7 months out now and feel even better than before the surgery . You are going to do great. Just remember to stay positive, know all the odds are in your favor and these heArt surgeries are done every day!! Best wishes!
