Hello,
My Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning starting at 6 AM in India (Wednesday Nite 7:30 EST). Just a quick background about my condition, I am 31 and asymptotic and was diagnosed with Severe Mitral Valve Stenosis, Moderate Mitral Valve Regurgitation, Moderate Aortic Valve Stenosis after my physician heard a heart murmur and subsequent 2D Echo
Surgery will be Aortic Valve Replacement and Mitral Valve Repair or Replacement. My Surgeon said will try to repair atleast 85-90 % of Mitral Valve and probably leave it at an acceptable level of Leakage. (Mild Level). I got admitted to hospital today and feeling confident that everything goes well. Surgery duration will be about 6 hours. I hope i can withstand all that trauma during the surgery and come out with flying colors
. This forum has helped me a lot since i was diagnosed.
I have asked for ON-X Valve but the surgeons are open for both On-x and St. Jude's depending on the size of the annlus of Aortic Valve.
I hope everything goes well and hope the surgeons can repair 100%.
I will say HELLO from other side may be in 2 or 3 days.
Regards,
Mahesh
