I'm not really active on this forum anymore, but I will never forget the advice and support I received here when I had my surgery at 27 years of age. My annual echo is in mid-July and I always get nervous and anxious this time of year. However, I am truly grateful that my surgery went well and that I had few complications. I wish the best of health to all of you. If anyone would like to keep in touch, or if anyone needs advice regarding my experience with davinci mitral valve repair, don't hesitate to pm me.
