Ginny Turner Hi Marsha and welcome. I'm awaiting mitral/tricuspid repair at CC in April, but there are many in this community who have shared their successful experiences. George Gardopee's detailed journal has been very helpful to me in knowing what to expect. George may chime in himself here, but I'll also post the link to his journal from his 11-21 experience: https://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/journals/user/georgegardopee

George Gardopee Hi Marsha. I’m nine weeks post mitral and tricuspid repair surgery at the Cleveland Clinic after a lifetime of having a murmur and a recent bout of endocarditis. I have been extraordinarily lucky - easy surgery, rapid recovery, no complications. I can honestly say that now the only reminder I have is a little itching around the incision. I shoveled snow the other day (perhaps foolishly) and suffered no ill effects. While I know not everyone has been so fortunate, they are extremely good at what they do at the CC. If you have any questions you would like to ask out of the public forum, feel free to contact me via email - ggardopee@gmail.com. Good luck!
Neal Syverson I will be having my mitral valve repair done March 16 at Cleveland Clinic.
I am from: Huntington, West Virginia
