Hi Amy, I think you asked about my surgery for mitral valve replacement. I had mitral valve replacement and yep, my incision is big and long. Seems to be healing well. Best of luck to you. Let me know if you have more questions.

Amy Berger Hi Diane - hope you continue to feel better each day - thanks again for the encouragement. I'm supposed to have a smaller incision about 4 inches - I think it's called minimally invasive but the surgeon said it is invasive anyway haha. Would love to hear how you are when you can.

Hi Amy! I was told the waiting is the worst, and it is. But because my Dec surgery was rescheduled because I got covid a week before, I discovered this place and I am so grateful I did. I wasn't really ready or convinced that I should have the surgery, but with this wonderful group of people, my thoughts went from being negative to being positive. I'm still nervous and anxious, but I'm also lifted and positive. And I've accepted that I do need this new valve. Take care!

Good Luck with your surgery. Dr Accola is a great surgeon. I'm having surgery on Jan 5th for an aortic valve replacement and an aneurysm repair. I'm going to Mount Sinai Hosp in NY because my family is there, and I want my wife to have the support of our children and grandchildren. If not for that I would be using Dr. Accola. I have seen him many times and he's as good as it gets in Florida! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Amy Berger Dan - Thanks for sharing this with me and best wishes to you too!!
Joyce Jent Wishing you a successful surgery & a great new year in 2023?
