Prayers for your surgery this week Anna. Many many of us have been where you are at. I opted to have mine repaired instead of having it replaced. Was able to have minimally invasive surgery. The worst part of my surgery was waking up with that breathing tube still in. In all honesty that was the worst of it. Most don't remember it or was just a little uncomfortable for them. My recovery hasn't been what I had hoped for but my valve got so bad one day the afib put me in heart failure for 16 days. It sounds like you're getting yours taken care of at a good time. Good for you! We will all be looking forward to hearing just how well everything went and how glad you are that the surgery is behind you!

Dan Fouratt Anna, before surgery (aortic valve replacement) I started exercising more. A week before surgery my nutritionist suggested high protein diet before and after surgery. My target was 1.4 grams per kilo gram. I think this helped me get home three days after surgery.

Dan Fouratt I had two. I did a lot of treadmill at slope (5 to 10 degree) as much as I could take. I also did some lite weight lifting. I spent about 1.5 hours a day exercising. To be open I was prepping for another surgery (brain tumor) from June 23 to Oct 23 with increase exercise. I chose radiation the end of September. Slack off some for the balance of year. Jan 19, 24 committed to heart surgery. From that day until March 21 it was closer to 2 hours a day. There was nothing more important to me then getting is as good a shape as possible to the surgery
