Aortic valve replacement still on track for Friday at the Brigham and women's hospital. Prepared, but having trouble sleeping. Just want to get it done. I feel confident in the doctors. Hope for the best. They will use cow valve replacement. I do have type two diabetes so that is a concern...

Elaine Phares Getting mine done on Tues. My dad was in terrible shape 20 years ago when he had his valve replaced and a triple bypass. He was the fastest to recover in the hospital because he did what they asked of him. Afterwards said he felt better than he had in years. Unfortunately he fell back in same old lifestyle routines a couple of years later. He had a mechanical valve and didn't keep up with his blood tests. I have also chosen a bovine valve and am so excited to get this behind me! I'll be thinking about you tomorrow.
Will keep you in my prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

Laura Jacobs Hi Ted, It has been a long time since I logged on to the site. Dr. Pelletier did my surgery 7 months ago at Brigham and Women's hospital. You are in great hands. I could not say enough good things about him. I feel very lucky that he was my surgeon. I had an aortic valve replaced, and a portion of the aorta replaced (ascending and arch) due to an aneurysm. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery.
