Thank you for the info. I’m amazed you were back to work in three weeks!
Both of the surgeons I consulted with have told me that the risk of not having the surgery at this point is higher than having the surgery. So I’ll go for it, I’m trying not to think about the risks of the surgery and focus on what a relief it will be to not have to worry about it. It doesn’t sound like they will replace my valve as it is working fine. He has talked about either repairing the aortic root or possibly replacing it.
I’ll just be glad to have this over with.
