First time to post. Surgery set for sept 3rd at cle clinic
Looks like aortic valve replacement with only a slight possibility of a repair. Been so impressed with all the tests, cath and consultations at clinic. Scared(not very manly, I know, lol), but ready to do it. Been aware of extremely leaky aorta since I turned 50, 9 years ago. This site and the clinic has alleviated some of the anxiety, as well as test results of no other heart issues. This is a terrific service you provide Adam. Dr. Douglas Johnston is my surgeon and very impressed during the consult. Here we go on Wednesday and will update the good results next week.
God bless all!!

Marci Stanwix Mark, welcome to our family. You will get great information and comfort from these knowledgeable people. I know how scared you are and I could never convince you (or anyone else) that the waiting is the hardest part. Its like a big black cloud over your head. Yes, the surgery was rough and you feel like a truck hit you but I would say the pain is manageable and if its not then just speak up and they can give you more meds to help. I had my valve done 9 months ago and its barely a blip in my past now. Ask any questions and be sure to post updates.

NIEVES VELAZQUEZ I feel blessed having found this site. I HAD NO IDEA and was getting panicky. Mark, I held off this surgery for years too, but now… I also have irregular heart beats, which is what really bothers me. Now they tell me the Sleep Apnea had something to do with it… I just don't know what to believe anymore. It is what it is… lots of heart problems in my family history but the heart has always been strong, just leaking, not beating right, etc. Go figure
