Hi All
I was discharged from hospital here in Brisbane 2 days ago after having a mech valve fitted to replace my highly stenosed bicuspid aortic valve, I was in there for exactly 1 week.
I was diagnosed at age 35 and am now 60, Ive had annual echoes ever since diagnosis
Post Op was a bit worse than I expected (lots of Nausea/Sweating) but my recovery since day 3 post Op has been better than I expected, I walked about 1 mile today.
Nice to be here, I just found this site, wish Id found it 6 months ago
The surgeon gave me a pic of my old valve, it looked kinda bad with no leaflets working, just a sort of slot.
