Of course, I have shared that info before I think it is incredibly appropriate in this forum, I live in Houston so I had my surgery at the Texas Medical Center, my surgeon was Dr Anthony Estrera, not only a wonderful surgeon (probably the best in Houston), but the nicest person. My cardiologist is Dr Siddharth Prakash, who is an aortic disease specialist (referred by Dr Estrera), couldn’t have asked for someone more knowledgeable about the subject, I see him every year, I also have a BAV which was left in place during surgery as it was still highly functional, will need replacement at some point, so far all the exercise has kept the deterioration to a minimum.

I was very active before the surgery and I am probably even more active now (more time since I took early retirement), I exercise 5 days a week on average, I cannot run anymore due to the leg fracture from my accident (how they found the aneurysm). I had two major surgeries in 2 months first one to repair my leg, and then Open Heart to repair the aneurysm.

Stay active!! And feel free to ask any other questions
