It is that time again, though I'm one day off and almost a year as I thought it was my 3rd year anniversary but it's my 4th since the surgery. Just finished the yearly echo and everything looks good! 👍 I guess it's also just age now, as 2 friends in the past 6 months have had bypasses, I was at least able to help them not get to stressed (Though hard not to) and let them know what to expect. I can report they are both doing great! They did not come into the site, mostly because both where caught off guard and from not feeling well to surgery was less then a week for both.. It's good to see that this site is still helping people out like it helped me before surgery, I still check in once in awhile and on all the updates and progress for surgery. I know someday I might need to get the valve replaced again since I selected the tissue, but I think in the near future it will be a much easier process... I hope everyone is doing well and for everyone with upcoming surgery's just know you will be fine 😊

How time fly's, today is year 3 since my surgery.. Keeping it short and sweet, I'm am doing well and will be having my yearly Echo in mid-May. But pretty much at this point just back to my old self, sometimes I even forget about it since I went to a new dermatologist for the yearly skin scan (needed here in the South West) and was asked "Bypass", I thought what? Oh wait, that's right I have that scar on my chest..... Again for all the new users on this site looking for information and help from others that have been down this road, this is a great resource. I also recommend Adam's book on what you might expect from surgery, it's also interesting to see how much medical procedures have advanced since my surgery. Hope everyone is in good health and good luck and fast recovery for those with upcoming procedures...
