    3 months and 3 days

    Had both the Aortic and Mitral valves replaced on 10/19/09. Quite an ordeal too. This site has been so helpful and I learned so much, perhaps I can help someone else as well. My experience was sort of a mixed bag, good and interesting, but not horrible. For the first 4 weeks the pain was...
