Hey cldlhd, Dr. Singh is 71! He replaced my grandmothers mitral valve in the 80' s. I was in good hands. I can say already ( 8 weeks post surgury) that I feel better. I am tall and slim, 6'4" 200lbs and before the surgery my arms would fall asleep any time they were over my head when I was...

You are on your way! Every day now will be better than the last!
