Hi Denice, and welcome to this wonderful community! Congratulations on your successful surgery, and a BIG THANK YOU for sharing your story. As one who is also scheduled for mitral and tricuspid valve repairs, it is so encouraging to read of your good surgical outcome and how well you are doing 6-weeks post op. I live in Texas and will also be traveling for surgery - in my case to the Cleveland Clinic in January with Dr. Marc Gillinov. I've learned that this journey is a step-by-step process, and the more I know, the better prepared I am for what lies ahead. I'm thankful for Adam Pick and this amazing group, for gifted surgeons like Drs. Adams and Gillinov, and for patients like you who share their story to help others. Best of luck with your continued recovery...and your return to the tennis court!

Ginny Turner so sorry I misspelled your name...make that Denise!

Denise Duncan Hi Ginny,

I should have mentioned that I also made sure I had a strong core & legs going into my surgery. I knew I wouldn't be able to use my arms to pull myself up, or, push myself up after surgery. Try to get as strong as you can.

I have a friend who will be having her Mitral Valve surgery at the Mayo Clinic at the beginning of December. Dr. Marc Gillinov will be her surgeon as well. She's very confident with him as I'm sure you are!

i have no doubt I'll be reading your success story on here after your surgery! All the best, Denise

Ginny Turner Good advice, thanks Denise. I'm in good shape, but will emphasize core and leg exercises over the next 3 months. Guess that's one benefit of my waiting period - time to get stronger!
