Well, I’ve been ‘spying’ on this website for about a month; now it’s time to commit. 😆
As long as my MRI checks out for my pulmonary valve, I’m slated for a Ross procedure at the end of October.
I have to say, this group has really given me hope and has mitigated my anxiety to a tolerable level!
I’m 60, so towards the upper end of the age consideration, but I think it’s the best option for me. Glutton for punishment?
Thanks to everyone who participates, it’s so nice to have this! I wish everyone on this forum speedy recoveries, peace, happiness, and most of all, good health!

Maureen Hoganson Hi Janet -- Hoping that all is going well as you prepare for your Ross Procedure! I too was at the upper age limit (58), but all went well with the procedure, just a few bumps in the road post-surgery, but doing great now at 16 weeks post-op! Prayers for a successful surgery and recovery!
