Welcome Alistair!
What kind of valve are you getting, and what hospital and surgeon?
I had my aortic valve replaced 6 months ago. My symptoms were not as apparent as yours, but I have realized that I did have a sort pinching feeling in the upper chest with exercise before surgery, and it's GONE! Every time I walk up a hill, I celebrate.
Good luck, and keep us informed of your progress.
