About Me (In My Own Words)
I was told 14 years ago that I had aortic valve regurgitation but not sever enough to warrant surgery. In fact the Doctor told me I may never require surgery it was so minor. Fast forward 14 years. While doing my daily crossfit exercises on a Wednesday in June my breathing was becoming more labored until I had to stop for the day. I realized something was a miss so the next day I went to an 24 hour clinic who after doing an EKG requested that I go to the the nearest emergency room . Lots of tests and week later I have my complete diagnosis. I went home and started researching doctors. (I compel everyone to do research to find the best doctor for you) Dr. Joseph Lamelas is the premier surgeon for minimally evasive valve replacement surgery. My surgery was preformed on July 28th 2015. I am now the proud owner of a bovine tissue valve.
