Congestive heart failure- Overmedicated?

I have severe tricuspid, moderate to severe mitral and aortic regurgitation along with a subaortic membrane causing subaortic stenosis. I currently take Furosemide, Metoprolol and Eplerenone daily which seems to be working for me right now. There is talk of replacing the valves and cutting away the membrane but from what I am reading here, those that have had surgery seem to have a lengthy recovery time, along with other issues, before feeling like their old selves again. Would love to hear some additional post-op stories that perhaps I can question my cardiologist about.

Wow great tip...demonstrates that people need to be their own best advocate, and seek advocates who hav
e great knowledge.
I had tricusp I'd surgery 1 1/2 year ago 2 months to get a0nt energy. Dr told me 1 month. Got pacemaker which I hadn't anticipated. Hoarder than I thought. I thought I would be back to normal but i think surgery just stopped continued damage. Still on diufectic. Regjme

@colleen00 Jumping in here about valve replacement My friend had to have a mechanical mitral valve she was doing fine tell she developed breast cancer they did radiation on her and it fried the mechanical valve so she ended up having open heart surgery again replacing her valve with the pig valve she was o.k. after that even though she had more radiation it didn't effect the pig valve so if you do have to have a valve replacement just wanted you to know what can happen if God forbid you need radiation.
