Hi, it is Rose, I am 9 days post op from aorta valve replacement and doing pretty good. A question I have for you is regarding the fluid retention issue. I still wiegh about 7 pounds more than when I was admitted and it doesn't seem to be changing. I know that it is a good thing that I have not gained but wonder how long this retention lasts.. Appreciate any advice on this. I do see both cardiologist and surgeon on Tuesday and am taking lasix once a day.Other than that I am doing good still hard to sleep for than a few hours at a time, but I have accepted that and rest when I can. I am just so darn glad this is over!!!!!!! Thanks, appreciate any help you can give me.
