I'm 7 weeks post op and things are still going well. Have had 5 days of Cardiac Rehab. My only complaint is the pain and soreness in my chest. Little by little I am returning to my prior lifestyle.

My wait is over. My surgeon confirmed it's time. It hasn't been quite 6 months since my last Echo but things have progressed. So I guess my time is here. Very nervous but working to get myself together.

I went for my Echo on February 8, 2018 and I had a follow up visit with my surgeon on February 12, 2018. I got kinda good news. We have decided that I will continue to wait on my surgery. My surgeon was concerned with the fact I am only... Read more.

Jennifer, like your surgeon, I discussed tissue this time and he said the Tavr will be perfected by then. Waiting for the final decision, but I am leaning toward tissue . Best wishes ...
