About Me (In My Own Words)
At age 12 it was discovered I had Mitral valve prolapse. This year on April 16th at age 42 I had Mitral Valve Repair at the University of Michigan performed by Dr. Steven Bolling. This site helped me do the research and find the surgeon best for my individual case. Many surgeons I met with gave me 80% chance of repair versus replacement due to the severity of my case. After meeting with Dr. Bolling he assured me 100% that he could do successful repair.
My surgery was done through my right side/back. Recovery went well and I was back to work without restrictions in 5 weeks. Thanks to this site and Adam for bringing awareness and useful information for all patients going through this journey. Thank you to the U of M team for an amazing experience.
