I'm almost 8 weeks post op and my liver enzymes are still elevated. I'm going for an ultrasound tomorrow to check it out. I feel very well but I guess it takes time for our liver to recover after such an invasive surgery.
I am 6 weeks post-op and took 75 mg of metoprolol twice a day for 4 weeks, and then I saw my cardiologist and she decided I only need 25 mg twice a day. I've been told that I only need to take it for 3 months after the surgery, but I guess it depends on how your heart is.
I agree with you Tom. I got my On-X valve a month and a half ago and for the first 3 months I have to maintain my INR between 2-3 and then go down to 1.5-2. This only applies to On-X valves.
