Robert's Guestbook

Good Afternoon Robert. Dr. Accola replaced my bicuspid aortic valve on October 11th, 2016. He is a wonderful caring person and his staff is topnotch. I went home four days after surgery. You are going to love the rooms for the heart surgery patients. It seems like such a small thing, but a wall of glass overlooking the lake, lifted my spirits. Good Luck, you are in good hands.

Robert - here we both are. Tomorrow at this time we will be both in the middle of our proceedures 1 mile apart from each other - you at Fla Hospital, and I at Orlando Regional Medical Center. My surgery is at 7am. As I am wheeled into the pre-op room I will be lifting you up in prayer that God is close to you, comfort you, and have his mighty hands at your side through the procedure. Hopefully I will post something in few days from my hospital bed. Hang in there brother - we will be doing this at the same time in the same city. Your surgeon, and mine are two of the best guys in town. This will be a good day for us tomorrow. Bob.

You are in phenomenal hands with Doctor Accola. A very competent and caring professional. Florida Hospital Orlando and all the people who will care for you after your surgery, will go beyond your expectations. They will have you on your feet and back to your life sooner than you think. Best regards

Robert: Thanks for your post. What made you decide in favor of tissue valve...I understand anticoag issue...but aren't you concerned with the re-operation issue? I am leaning toward On-X mechanical valve. My procedure is scheduled for Feb. Also, I understand Florida Hospital is Seventh Day Adventist. They (Adventists) have a pretty good understanding of lifestyle medicine and disease reversal. Do you find this also? Thanks, Kevin.
