I had this one put in Nov 19 2020. I have no discomfort and was doing hard labor by week 8. I can feel it once in a while no pain I just know its there. I am happy with it so far.

Can I ask how high your heart rate was?

I certainly don't hate the USA. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity this country gave me. I came from a family with nothing and have made a good life for my family. It still is a place of opportunities. But now we have a sociopath media outlet, political landscape and social media...

I personally would stay in my favorite place to live, sounds like Thailand is yours. I am 55 and just had AVR. Out in 5 days and on my own with very little help. You got this. With the way the USA is heading I would not move back here myself. Its become a polarized place to live. If I didn't...

I am 55 and have found edibles as a good solution. I grew up in CA and weed has been part of my culture my whole life. I live in the south now and it is a whole different attitude here. I do not have a mechanical Valve (I have a Inspiris Valve) so I cannot speak for INR. My whole life my older...

I choose the Resilia Valve. I know its a risk and after being on here daily for the last 5 months I recognize that mechanical may have been the best choice for a 55 year old man. The others here are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to valves. The main Honest reason why I went with Resilia. I...

Good to hear, I had my Resilia valve put in Nov 19 2020. I am working out daily, doing yard work and already feel better than the few years before surgery. One note my valve does make noise. Only time will tell but good to hear from others who have the same valve. Not sure what will take me out...

Wow just wow, My libido is stronger than before my AVS. Both my wife and I are enjoying this new found strength. I suggest you see a shrink.......I was in your boat last Oct. I reached out here and found that this group was the most honest group I could have learned from. I am 55 with three...

I am 55 and had AVR surgery Nov 19 2020. Your fear is valid. The hard part was updating our living trust and medical directive making videos for my kids just in case the worse case happened. Then I went onto positive mode. I recommend you see your new life as one of gratitude. You will make it...

I had a similar situation last year. I am 55 I walked 3 miles a day 5 days a week and lived a very active lifestyle. I was told I had a murmur and I needed to see a cardiologist. After the appointment and tests my Dr said I need surgery. Nov 19 2020 I had AVR. 8 weeks post op and I work out...

I am 55 and went with inspiris resilia aortic valve. Its too early to tell if made the right choice. I feel better already (1 month post operation). Everyone here has been amazing.

I had my BAV OHS 1month ago. This site is a wealth of knowledge. Hard to believe that a month has gone by. I agree with Superman, make a decision and don't look back. Hang in there and be proactive with your care.

Good to know. I seem to be getting used to it. I am doing rehab and can't get my heart rate over 108. I am going to have to push harder I guess.

Well I met with my cardiologist and surgeon post surgery. My echo and ekg came back good. The valve is working great and the mitral is working good. I am getting off all meds except metaprophol, statin and asprin. Hopefully I will get off the Metaprophol in a few months. I started cardiac rehab...

How long were you on Metrophol?

I have a valve that is supposed to not need thinners after 30 days or so. My hope is to be on asprin and a statin only soon.

Well I know after reading here things can still go wrong. I thank you all for the positive reply.

First off thanks to the staff at Centennial Heart Nashville. Amazing care and a great experience from the whole team. My Surgeon was proactive and I am really glad he empowered me to do my own research. At age 28 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease. After a splenectomy and radiation at age 28...

I really appreciate you all. I have many questions being answered as I go. With all the information here and other sites I really find it interesting that it all boils down to a personal choice. You make a decision and hope for the best. Its a very complicated topic and in the end MOST people...

Yes that is the link. I have a call into Edwards now to speak with the valve specialist to get the latest information on the New Inspiris valve. I feel good about the Perimount as well.
