I know it's useless for me to tell you how commonplace heart surgery is these days, and to not be overly stressed out even if your cardiac surgeon recommends a valve replacement.
But at least I've got experience to back up these comforting platitudes. I've had a few procedures myself, and been through a couple of heart attacks and a stroke. Got a pacemaker/defibrillator ticking away in my chest, and enough hardware in my cardiac arteries to build a stopwatch. I've had two different cardiac surgeons botch what should have been simple procedures (oops, maybe I should have left that part out LOL) and I'm still kickin'. You will endure, bud...Hang in there! |

So now you really don't want us to draft Geno with the first pick!
Best of luck man, there's a reason why cancer is killing more people these days. It's not because cancer is more lethal than it used to be. It's that our treatment and diagnosis of things like heart disease has gotten so much better that it's way less of a concern than it used to be. Yea it's scary and yes it's life way of reminding you what's really important in life, but it's not nearly the risk it used to be.

I appreciate it guys, however, I don't think anyone is going to convince me to a point of easiness about the thought of someone cutting me open and operating on my heart.

Good luck man, you will be okay buddy.
I know for a fact that your mental state affects how your body responds, so be relaxed and confident that you have the strength ( and you do ) to beat this problem and you will. Posted via Mobile Device |

It has been 5 1/2 years now since I got my 4 stents and it changed my life for the better, I am much healthier now. The valve thing is more invasive, but I just had friend get a new one that is almost 70, and he did fine. You are much younger and stronger so you have an advantage. All the best to you! |
