I had my avr on 06/22/04 and went home 3 days later with A-Fib and not feeling well.During recovery I felt tired and overall just felt really bad for about 2 weeks at which time I had an echo.Echo revealed that I had fluid around my heart.I was taken to the hospital and had to have surgery done the very next morning and they drained 1/2 liter of fluid off plus another 250ccs from the drains that they left in.It has been the worst experience of my life and the pain from the 2nd surgery was extremely painful as they went through the old incision which now is very ugly cosmetically.I am suppose to go for another echo in one week and pray to god that I dont have fluid built up again cause I don't think I could go through another surgery.Just wanted to know if anyone else has been through this experience?
