John just emailed me the gift card, I guess there were a lot of bots doing the survey so yes the survey is legit and was happy to participate.

Thank you for the response Chuck. I never received any email from them. During the survey it said I qualified to complete the survey. They never said that if I did not give the "correct" narrative that they were looking for that I would not receive a gift card. I hope that is not true as that...

I also did the survey and did not receive a gift card? I did the survey about a week ago, how long does it take to receive it?

Today was supposed to be my surgery day but..... We get to the hospital at 5:00am, wait until 5:30 to register. We register but the person registering us gets a phone call saying they did not have me on the schedule. Talk about being mad and experiencing just about every other emotion you can...

My symptoms are shortness of breath, sometimes extreme. Extreme fatigue, dizziness, and chest pain at times. I just have no energy and do not feel like doing anything. So I am praying the new valve will give me back my energy! My other issue is I have had a chronic intractable migraine for 4...

At first, I thought warfarin would be hard to deal with but I am not worried about it. I am just happy that I will be feeling much better after I recover, that is what I am looking forward to.

I will be able to tell you after next week as I am having my second surgery also. I also have a bovine valve put in 2009 but will replace it with a mechanical this time. I pray your surgery goes well.

I had my first AVR in March of 2009 and the valve lasted 13 years but I now have severe aortic stenosis and symptomatic. So next week I go in to have it replaced with a mechanical valve. My first valve was a bovine tissue valve which in hindsight was probably the wrong decision, I should have...

Well I have my heart cath yesterday and no blockages over 30% so that is good. Just have to keep searching on where my symptoms are coming from.

Thank you! This is exactly how I feel. I too am glad I saw another cardio to get to the bottom of this. Thanks again!

I went to a new cardiologist today and really liked him. I told him what happened and my symptoms, he also looked at my records before I got there so he was prepared. I told him that my other cardio said I did not need a heart angiogram, but my new cardio said with your symptoms and family...

Thanks, I had a good cardio in Chicago too, but he was the one who almost missed my leaky aortic valve. But at least he did catch it and had a wonderful surgeon. My cardio here is good too, but they are human and miss things. They have lots of patients and little time. But with my symptoms and...

Thank you! I want to trust my doctor but the history of my medical issues have eroded that trust. Matter of fact, yesterday I was at my primary and he gave me the results of my heart CT and my calcium score. On the report also showed my mitral valve prolapse. I asked him about it and he said...

Actually I don't know why it has me a guest above, looks like my session timed out before I finished the above post!

My Edwards Perimount bovine tissue valve is still cranking at 8 years 8 months. I get an echo every year. I will be 55 in a couple weeks.

Thanks everyone, God bless. Pastor Randy

March 10th was my 6 year valve replacement anniversary, I actually forgot about it!

Very sad about Robin Williams. He had AVR surgery a few days after I did in 2009, also Barbara Bush.

It has been 4 years since I had my aortic valve replaced, seems like it was just yesterday! Feeling good and thank God for my healing!

It will be 3 years on March 10th that my aortic valve was replaced. Other than PVC's I am doing good!
