Belinda, I'm sorry you have to have OHS. Try to focus on the fact that the odds are in your favor for a positive outcome. Recovery is hard work. My advice to you is to listen to your doctors, follow their instructions and take your time in recovering. God bless you on your journey. What hospital are you going to?

Very normal to be nervous and have a range of emotions before the event. My two cents is to embrace the moment - watch and observe all happenings before. It is like a symphony! Then, know that surgery is super safe nowadays. Recovery will happen.

Hi, Tim. I'm holding you to it…about surgery not being a big deal. I, too, have chosen to go with a tissue valve.
