Subhash Chandel Yes. Instead of heart, its more of mind game. One has to make up the mind and convince yourself for the surgery. We are lucky that successful surgery options are available in today's world and surgery success is in high 90s.

Grace Mason Yes, we are. I waited as long as I could on recommendation of a surgeon and my cardiologist. The less surgeries needed the better. I was fortunate to be asymptomatic previous to reaching my time for surgery but waiting also requires some mind calming. Hope your next echo has you continuing to be stable

Subhash Chandel Thanks Grace. I am 50 yrs old with office job. So I try take my mind away from my heart if possible. All the best with your recovery. Things will get better with time. Michigan and Ohio weather are not very different but I am waiting for summer to go out for long walks and cycling/swimming.

Subhash Chandel Yes Marie, when time comes, I plan to discuss with my surgeon with following priorities, (1) Valve repair (2) Ross procedure (3) replace with Edwards Inspiris Resilia valve which has longer life and TAVAR can be performed next time with valve in valve.

Marie Myers Sounds like you have a good start to your journey. Wishing you all the best!

Subhash Chandel Thanks Adam. Last 7 days since coming to know of my heart valve condition has been very shocking and scary. Your site, videos and interviews really helped in answering many questions. I am in metro Detroit region and currently within Beaumont Hospital system. Trying to see if and when time comes for surgery, should I go University of Michigan-Health or Cleveland Clinic or stay with Beaumont.

Adam Pick Hey, Subhash, Hmmmm.... I don't know anybody at Beaumont. But, I was actually just at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor touring their facility two weeks ago. Great teams there and at Cleveland Clinic.
