So sorry, Ashley. I hope you feel better soon. If you are not satisfied with the experience you had, you should consider following up with your cardiologist. Hang in there and I hope you feel better.

I say what Laura said follow up. I sure hope you feel much better soon. Hugs & prayers.💞🙏🏻

I agree. If you aren't feeling right, get a second opinion . It's important to listen to your body.

Tracy Simmons

Wow, did you get a double valve replacement? I wondered how you were doing, as I'm pretty sure I remembered you were having the same surgery as I'll be getting. I don't meet a lot of people who need both valves replaced. Sorry you have had to have 3 surgeries... Read more.

Good luck to you Ashley- visualizing that all will be well and you will be kicking up a dust soon and back to normal. :)

Kate Watson

I'll be in the same boat as you with those two valves, not sure when yet but am meeting with another surgeon next week. I assume you have to get two mechanical valves in this case? I know what you mean- I too am looking forward to feeling good again... Read more.

Ashley Cross

Yes I will be getting 2 mechanical valves. I pray that the doctors appointment goes well! Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers!
