Tying to decide when I should have surgery?

After my recent visit with the surgeon, I agreed to get another ct scan in 3 months and then we would put a plan together for surgery. While I was at the hospital, they did a echo, the results indicated he walls of my heart were thicker than normal. Could it be that my body is larger than average and my heart is a bit larger? Just seems like they keep finding things to investigate.

What did they say about your aortic valve function, condition etc as well as the other 3 valves? Ejection fraction? All of that comes into play and can impact the heart from ventricle size and shape etc.
