What did you do to mentally prepare yourself for having a major surgery like this? For me it's the mental aspect of the procedure. I understand that the success rates for these procedures are very high especially when done with a qualified surgeon/team. But the whole thing still scares me. I've also never had any sort of surgical procedure done other than having my wisdom teeth out which may be leading to some of my fears.
That's really good to know about your bicuspid aortic valve, mine is minor enough that if that were the only issue I had I'd only be seen once every other year. I was a little nervous that they'd want to repair the valve as well.
