Tina Maroon Wow you look great. Glad your back to normal. I am so glad to see that you recovered so well and that the surgery made you a stronger person. I think my surgery made me a stronger person as well. But I still don't feel 100% yet. But almost there. I am 7 mo. post op as well.

pino correale Hi Lauren, that is a nice story and encouraging for all of us. You certainly did very well on your recovery. I am 7 weeks post/op AVR and not doing too badly. Definitely an invasive surgery though. I hope you don't mind the comment but looking at your picture, one you don't look like you have been sick ever, number two you look like a former Miss America.Please take it as a genuine complement with lots of good health coming your way.
Cheers.........

Lynee Casper Lauren, you look great, it is so good to hear you are doing well and back to normal. Clearly your healthy lifestyle and strength carried you through a challenging surgery. I too will have mitral valve repair, and repair of a hole in my heart, but I always thought that these things did not happen to healthy people, I am very active, and made every effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Some things are out of our control. It's good to see you can bounce back, and be better than ever.

Lauren Burt Thank you for all of your kind comments!! I wish I had found this site prior to my surgery but I am so glad I can share my outcome with others who may be about to take a similar journey and connect with those of you who have gone through a heart surgery already! My best advice is to try and stay positive.. This will not only be a physical journey but an emotional one. Do not let this define you.. Instead let it make you stronger, wiser, appreciate more, worry less, and take in more "moments."
Wishing you all continued strength and full recoveries!!

Nancy D Beautiful picture of health!! Love your sentiments as well about it being "a physical and emotional journey" Very accurate, and even at 17 months post MV replacement I love your summation that it makes "you stronger, wiser, appreciate more, worry less and take in more moments" The level of my gratitude has never been higher!
Prayers and well wishes for all here who are in various stages of this journey!!
