Hi all, I am 46 and have been recently told that I need to have my aortic valve replaced. This seems like the best place to come for such questions so here goes:
How much of a change in my health can I expect from the replacement? I like sports but have had to curtail such activity in the last few years. Will I be able to participate in sports (fencing and running and weight lifting) after the surgery?
How long until I am up and around and able to do simple things like drive myself to the store and such?
What sort of questions should I be asking my doctor now?
What do you know now that you wish you had known prior to surgery?
Warm Regards,
Will
