Hello all-
I am so glad I found this site-thanks to Adam Pick, author of "Patients Guide to Heart Valve Surgery".
I have the standard BAV and it is now time for new parts and pieces
That said, I have experienced more raw emotion over the past couple of weeks than I can remember...
Getting all my affairs in order, lining out my support group, and mentally preparing has been very hard for me. Prayers and friends have made it more manageable, though.
My surgery, the Ross Procedure, is scheduled for December 10, at 8:00 AM. I feel so very fortunate to have found Dr. Oswalt, right where I live, in Austin, Tx. From all my research he is one of the best at this procedure. I will be at the Heart Hospital of Austin, again heard nothing but good things about the facility.
I have done such extensive research on the Ross Procedure, seen so many pictures, and have seen videos of the procedure, I am darn scared!!!
I am truly fearful of recovery and the pain associated with.
It does ease my fears to read various posts on this site.
I look forward to hearing from those who have experienced Ross.
