Hi Pete, where are you located in England. You have a choice to use choose and book option via gp and you could go to any surgeon and any hospital. NHS is having a big back log and if you want to do a private echo and have the results there and then ask your gp to refer you to a BHUPA clinic ...

Thank you Sir

Brilliant guys 👏👏

I had a valve saving surgery I.e David’s procedure. Had a redo after 3 yrs and replaced the native valve with mechanical valve. I have been taken wafarin and I have been managing it ok. If I could take time back I would have gone for a mechanical valve the first time and avoided the stress and...

This time around it was a completely different experience. One episode I clearly remember and would love to warn others , who are sensitive to magnesium that please remind the nurses to give magnesium in small doses. I was give in one short the allocated quantity this increased my heart rate and...

You need to be seen on a regular basis to keep up with your condition. Not good to ignore heart health. You need to go every 6 months to a years. Please see about going to a cardio soon for at least a checkup. Thanks for your response Carolinemc

The nurses started shaving my legs and had completed both my legs when the surgeon came and told me that the surgery would need to be cancelled. There is a women who would drop dead if he didn’t operate on her. But I was pleased that I got to meet my surgeon again and discuss the plan of action...

Pellicle thanks for replying. I will go through the size of Onx vs others soon. Don’t mind if I get back to you if I have any questions

Thank you Superman Really appreciate this feed back, which I have saved in my notes for future reference Today upon discharge the doctors wanted my lNR levels to be above 2. And mine was 2.4. I fully agree below 2 will put at higher risk thanks once again

I can only talk from my experience. I had my redo on 22/4/22. And had an onx , my INR came in range within 2 days. I am discharging today. Although I had to push for this valve because for most surgeons a mechanical valve is mechanical valve From my research I knew that Onx would take less...
