Liam,
I'm a Physician Assistant that works in Cardiac Surgery. This is absolutely my favorite surgery that we perform!
I'm sure you've heard this already but, in the right hands an AVR is a beautifully elegant and relatively easy operation. It's very common for folks to notice an improvement in their breathing within the first couple of days post-op!
The recovery is often times straight forward, but can take up to a month before you are feeling back to yourself, and up to 3 months before you hit 100%. Remember, IF the going gets tough the objective is for you to feel better in the long run. It's a short term investment for a long term gain.
Congratulations on getting your surgery date!
Happy, safe, and speedy recovery,
Spencer

Good luck, indeed. Having gone through double bypass, I agree that everything will taste like cardboard, or worse, for a few weeks, but it is a small price to pay for the long-term benefits of the surgery. As a bonus, you will meet many wonderful people along the road to recovery. My prayers are with you.

Our prayers will be for a smooth surgery with rapid recovery.

Liam,
Knocking on wood for you. Having gone through the heart surgery thing (twice) be sure you and your doctors are on the same page for pain management and understand that as you recover you are going to tire easily. Whatever your favorite physical activity is, keep getting back to it as a goal. My desire to get back to Scottish Country Dancing last time was a big motivator for me. Though it was very rough when I finally did get back on the floor, I know that it made my recovery faster and more complete.
Good Luck!

All's well!
Surgery went well yesterday. Expect to get moved from the ICU to the regular cardiac ward later today.
Cheers to all!
