Having aorta valve replacement: I’m scared

I had TAVR done at Cedars-Sinai on May 10. It went very well, released the next day. Took about 2 weeks for the incision to feel better. Started having increased energy right away. So far everything is going well and have a follow-up appointment with my IM Cardiologist on June 12.

Congratulations. I am almost 3 years past surgery and 92 years old. Long life and much happiness to you.

Just had the one-month follow-up with my cardiologist at Cedars-Sinai. She indicated that everything was fine and that I could resume normal activities. I am planning to return to the gym and do a short hike in the Sierra mountains at the end of June.

Hello @raydiesposti and welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm so glad that you posted about your successful TAVR procedure in this discussion thread. Your results of increased energy are enviable to all of us with valves that don't work well.
After I read your profile, where you discussed your heart problems were a result of a cancer treatment, I'm thinking that you might find the following discussion group interesting,

Was the valvular problem the only cardiac problem you have as a result of the cancer treatment or are there other cardiac follow ups needed at this point?
