Hi everyone-
I have been reading this site from the shadows for a few weeks. Thank you to all for easing my fears and concerns. Weds. is my day for AVR and aorta repair. Im only 40. Im somewhat scared, yet looking forward to other side so may people talk about on here. I promise to update and be more active on here after my surgery. I hope to ease others who face their concerns and fears. Again, Thank you all from the shadows...Sean

Hi Sean-

Best of luck on your surgery and the "new" you!

Welcome, Sean, as many of us have said, things are likely to go better than you imagine. Please ask if you have questions of your own because that is the best way to come to terms with the fear and anxiety. I hope things go well for you. Take care.

Welcome, Sean. Hope you are making it through what must be a stressful week. My son is having an aortic repair on Wednesday also. I will keep you right alongside him in my prayers. Where are you having your surgery? His will be at Johns Hopkins by Dr. Duke Cameron. We leave on Monday to go down. I wish you a very successful surgery and a good recovery.

Good luck. I will be 6 days after you for my second time and it is still scary. It is hard not to be when you are volunarily asking someone to stop your heart. These suregeons are great. We will be fine and in fact better!

Good luck to you.

Hi Sean,

You'll be in my prayers. I'm not far behind you, my AVR is on Tue the 27th. I've been pretty calm with this so far but the reality of our situation is starting to land on my shoulders. I look forward to hearing from you on the other side.

See you there soon!

God bless, Doug
