I just had my TEE this morning. The doctor spoke to my mother and said the bicuspid valve is not working as well as it should and the heart is having to compensate, thus the symptoms I’m feeling. I meet with my cardiologist next week for full results and a path forward. I’m presuming since I’m so symptomatic and they are attributing it to my valve, surgery may be recommended. It’s a waiting game, yet again ❤️

Brett Kurtz Hi Laura. I was right in your shoes 5 months ago after I started to become symptomatic. I'm 36 and they also found my BAV at a very young age. Just know that the waiting game is the worst part. I'm not 15 weeks post-op and doing better everyday. Waiting for me was 100% worse than the surgery itself but the doctors need to get everything right. Just trust them.

Joy Vera Hi Laura. Waiting is hard for sure. I've had valve surgery, twice actually, & have recovered both times so hopefully that & the stories of others on this site will offer you some encouragement. I wish you well.
