I've wondered this as well but not had a chance to test it out with any insurers. Thank goodness for the group policy at work.

Hi Dan, just another note to say welcome. My journey is similar to yours in many ways regarding cardiac journey and activity questions. Glad you're here to get info and input. It's a lovely group.

Welcome, Tanner. You'll find lots of active, aspirational people here excited about supporting your journey.

Congratulations and many more to you!

@Freebird , sounds like you're in great spot with your ducks in a row. I also had that calm once the plans were in place. Happy to support your journey however it's useful.

Yes, of course, happy to help. John Oswalt from CTVS did my surgery about a dozen years ago, and I could not have been happier with him and his team. I was looking geographically all over at the time, and he was the first one that was willing to deal with my case (because I was young adult) and...

Happy first, @Keithl ! Here's to many more.

Thanks for the updates, @Protimenow . Hope this leads to smoother days, and do try to take it easy a bit. You can do a week. You're resting so you can have good decades; a few days isn't much of a cost in comparison.

Many more to you

Congratulations on another valversary

Thanks for sharing, @Bryan B and @pekster11 . Hope all progresses well for you.

This question comes up a lot because it seems like people get quite different advice so you're not alone in the wondering. While our cardiologists know best by their training and familiarity with our cases, it does seem hard to get evidence-based advice from care teams, as opposed to very...

Thanks for the update. Glad you're at least able to get a range of thoughtful opinions. I'm sorry things remain unclear, but I hope there's some clarity in a follow-up visit or with another provider who could review your data.

Happy valversary. Many more to you! Beir bua!
