Hi Barry - I am 37 years old. I had the Ross Procedure last year (3rd March 2011). Operation was a great success. Early days obviously in terms of whether I will need a repeat surgery however I was quoted similar percentages regards the risk of it over time. At the moment I'm on no medication...

Hi All I promised myself I would be a regular visitor to this extremely useful site post surgery. I'm afraid to date i haven't kept that promise. I am 37 years old and had the ross procedure at the Royal Brompton in London last year. No major complications and a fairly text book recovery...

Congratulations Jimmy - it sounds like all in all your recovery is going well. Take it easy over the next few weeks and the sleeping and concentration will improve.

Hi Everyone Well it feels good to finally post on the post surgery forum. After 3 cancellations (one less than 12 hours before surgery was due to take place) I finally had my Ross Procedure on 3 March 2011 at the Royal Brompton in London. The operation was a success with no complications. The...

Wow. Mozart's birthday. That must be a good sign. Unfortunately I had the dreaded call today to tell me the surgery has been cancelled. No alternative date as yet. Very frustrating. I will keep you all updated and thanks again for the invaluable support. Andy x

Hi guys I haven't posted for a while but just to let you all know I'm being 'rossed' on the 27th at the Royal Brompton in London. I'm apprehensive but really looking forward to being on the other side of the moutain. I look forward to sharing with you all on the post surgery site soon. Thanks...

Hi Guys It's been a while since I was last here so I hope you are all well. I am still waiting for confirmation for surgery but it is likely to be early in the New Year. I have opted for the ross procedure with the help of my surgeon. I am a keen cyclist and in terms of the mental recovery...

All sounds really positive. Give her my love.

Thanks both. Very helpful.

Good luck Penny. I'm sure you'll be fine. Looking forward to hearing all about your experiences when you return to the site

Hi Guys - Not the most catchiest title I know. I am on the waiting list for my aoritc valve replacement and going back through my medical notes I realised that my Left Ventricular Hypotrophy was diagnosed as severe at my last assessment (previously it had always been mild or moderate)...

Thanks Kristen. It was extremely helpful to hear about your experiences. It's incredible that you went two surgeries in the space of a week. I'm really moved by the courage of people on ths site. I will keep you updated how I get on. Lots to decide at the moment and this site is proving invaluable.

Cheers Ross. I do take your original comments on board. But like the others I'm not wanting to be 'convinced of the right path'. Just what is right for me.

Thanks Andy - very helpful again.

Hi Guys I am a 35 yr old male and on the waiting list for AVR (hopefully in the next few months). I was born with Aortic Stenosis which has now progressed to being severe. I have always been very active and sporty and I am determined to keep this up post surgery (after recovery of course). I...

Thanks to everyone of you (Andy; Gil: Phillip; Larry). I really do appreicate it and all really helpful comments. It's amazing how similar your experiences are. I have been having difficulty processing the fact that the stenosis is now severe and this has been an immesurable help. (Yes Gil - Its...

Thanks Guys. I'm very grateful indeed for your comments. Based on your helpful insight I may start a 'symptom diary' to better assess if any of these potential signs are significant changes or not. It's comforting to know that I'm not alone in driving myself crazy about potential symptoms.

Hi Guys I'm so glad that I've found this site. It's very reassuring to hear everyone else's stories about pre or post valve replacment ops. I am 35 years old and have Aortic Stenosis. I have always been asymptomatic and very sporty including cycling and regular trips to the gym. At my last...
