Bio oil is great for scars.

I think once you feel ready get fit. Over the months heart rate will drop and get softer which may soften the noise. I had a tissue valve but even with that my heart beat was so strong it was almost rocking me when in bed resting. Once fit everything is quite and slow. Good luck. Check with your...

Thank you very much for taking the time. Very interesting. Time will tell.

Great thankyou so much.

Thanks have just been through it all without much really. Best I can find is it's a 25mm perimount valve. 22nd June 2017. Surgeon Ms Yadav. I don't suppose it matters in the great scheme of things. I would have liked to have known though. Thank you anyway.

What were your symptoms please. Early and later. Thanks

Let's not forget guys and gals that it's not all about tissue and mechanical any more there is a breakthrough on polymer valves. There is an engineer who has devised a way of making a polymer that will bend one way but not the other. So a valve can be made to open oneway but not leak back. The...
