Best of luck with the Surgery...I think Mo. Baptist is part of the BJC network. I had my Aortic Valve replaced at Christian Northeast. Dr. Munfakh did a great job. I had a heart attack and had some artery blockage so my Surgery was really not elective. I now have a Cow Valve sitting where my Aortic Valve used to be. I never really thought about the Scar issue from a womans stand point! They didn't quite get a crease across my mid section lined up when they glued me back together. But they glued everything on me. They took about 14" of artery for the by-pass out of my left forearm. That Rib removal sounds painful. I know my Dad had a rib removed for lung surgery and he was in alot of pain. I've cleaned Carpets in Wildwood before....a bit of a drive but it was a big house.


Best of Luck
