Bob Fotoples I had Minimally Invasive surgery. I was not eligible for a TAVR. I had a bicuspid valve. Today is my 8 week anniversary, and I'm in my 3rd+ week of cardiac rehab.

Bob Fotoples Ten weeks out from my surgery, and I trimmed the perimeter fence of my ½ acre yard, including a small hill, pushing a power mower that is not self propelled. No pain, no heartburn, and I was not out of breath when I finished the trimming. I had some lunch then got on my rider mower and completed the job. I have not been able to do this for over a year and a half. Life is good!

Bob Fotoples Hi Judy. No, I'm not anxious. My twin brother had the exact same procedure that I'm having last December. He did fine. I'm also having it done by the same surgeon in the same hospital. I've watched a lot of videos about it, and read a lot about it, and I trust my doctors. I'll be just fine.

Hi Bob, wishing you a successful surgery on August 1. The waiting part as many have said is the hardest part. My husband and i are anxious and excited at the same time. The best part is that the quality of life will be so much better. That's the exciting part.
Bob Fotoples Thanks, Rose. I'm excited to get on with it!
