Thank you for the post...question, now that you are on the other side of surgery, do you have the same restrictions? How robust is the repair in terms of how much workout stress you can put on your body? No one that I have chatted with has addressed this. Does the repair make you "good as new", or close to it? Thanks of any help you can provide.

I have no restrictions, I’m pretty much at my old workout rhythm except I cannot run mainly because of my leg fracture, and chest exercises do bother a little because of the sternum (never heals to 100% according to my cardiologist). I do have to watch grunting and holding breath while exercising since i still need to watch my BP, my cardiologist says there’s always a change I may develop another one (mainly because I also have a bicuspid aortic valve). I get checked every year.
