    Do it every year! You weren't kidding when you said this was life-changing. When I had been scheduled for this surgery five weeks ago, I had been engaged a week. One night, he just left in the middle of the night saying he couldn't go through with it, the surgery and the marriage. So in a sense, this procedure saved me from a marriage that would not have stood the test of the "in sickness and in health" vow.

    I had an aortic ON-X mechanical valve replacement done 02/10, I was released on the 15th. I didn't require any assistance at home. I was fully mobile and driving within two weeks to go to medical appointments. I never had any pain, just what I would call slight discomfort. I was anxious about having my sternum broken, but it was a real non event. My ON-X valve ticks like the third hand on an expensive watch. I'll take the tick compared to the nauseating sound my biological valve was making. "It sounded like a "squish, squish, squish." Taking warfarin has been a non event. I'm in my mid 50's and found the hole process to be easy to cope with. I thank all of the Doctors and nurses at the "Asper Center" in Winnipeg MB. They made my experience, dare I say, pleasant.

Because after my second surgery I went home and was napping and went into cardiac arrest and luckily my fiancé was there and helped keep me with oxygen until the paramedics got there and then I was shocked three times and brought back.

    Thanks for making these videos Edward. I'm 30 and in a very similar situation to the one you were in - valve fine and then seemingly fell off a cliff. Headed to the cardiologist soon to talk about next steps and found comfort in listening to your experience. Have you heard of the Tria valve? it's a polymeric valve which has the durability of a mechanical valve but without the need to be on anticoagulants. It's in a human feasability study phase at the moment - results come out 2024. If we ever need to get re-operated at least we might stand a chance at getting out of the commitment to warfarin!

    • @baumansound
      @baumansound  3 роки тому

      Haven’t heard of that one, but to be honest, not looking either. After a while you just forget you even had the surgery :D
      But yes, there were many in trial for no warfarin, and also a bunch of trial for other anticoagulants that are less annoying, but I think the real approval will come after a really long time.
      Is not that bad!

    thanks for this! I appreciated your prior videos I viewed before my surgery I had in April 2019 here in victoria BC. Got the On-X aortic carbon valve and its been 2.5 months now. First 4 weeks was a lot more pain than I expected, and I took max dose tylenol for about 5 weeks straight. First 3 weeks I had to sleep in a chair, not a bed. Still walked every day, starting at 1/2km. Now I do hikes up to 8km and feeling great. Did not have any real emotional change, which is good. My type of mechanical aortic valve (On-x) only needs 1.5-2.0 INR starting next month - a bit newer tech. INR has been at 2.0-2.1 for weeks, and I use the home tester once a week. I will get a dental implant next month - but my wife is a dentist and I am dental hygienist and this is all familiar to me. Oh I had Afib 4 weeks ago, had to be shocked in the hospital emergency ward - that sucked, and the beta blocker is necessary to prevent this. Only issue now is being on beta blocker for the first year - this seriously cramps my style as I like to hike and bike hard many times a week, but this drug is suppressing heart rate very low, however the beta blocker effects are felt only when working out. I don't quite understand your need for daily salads? I just eat normally, with maybe 2 beers and 3 glasses of wine per week. I have more difficulty to try diet to lose weight now though, which I need to get back to doing.

    • @baumansound

    • @daniellaserafim9739
      @daniellaserafim9739 5 років тому

      Regarding the salad question; salads/greens in general have Vitamin K that affects the INR levels (Spinach has way more vitamin K than lettuce for ex.) - so if you like to eat it; you should maintain the routine of eating the same amount everyday (or try to) in order to keep your INR within a consistent range (:

    I got the on-x valve about 10 months back on the aortic position and my life has become miserable due to it. The clicking noise has given me severe psychological distress. I have severe anxiety and depression due to the clicking noise. I just cant sleep at night. My mental state has become a complete mess and im under extreme duress due to the clicking noise. Im thinking of getting the mechanical valve replaced with a ross procedure. The mechanical valve is functioning normally but it's ruined my life completely. Im thinking of getting it surgically replaced with a ross procedure and I have offers from at least 15 countries for the ross procedure, including Canada and Brazil.

    We learned a lot on your experience. What do you think will it be better to take the animal valve in stead of mechanical for a 54 yr old. There's too much complicated After care with the mechanical valve. I would prefer to have a quality life for a shorter time than a dependancy life for a longer time. Can you perhaps recommend a person who had a Aorta replacement from an animal valve?

    This is so hard for me to chose... like I want a mechanical cause I’m LITERLLY 14 and won’t have to have a surgery every 10-15years. But I don’t went to have the stress with all the medicine and checking all that stuff and my diet and all... but I also like the idea of tissue cause u can just carry on with your life without stress until you have to replace your valve again.

      You need to discuss this with your doc. I have no idea if 14y.o. Has a fully grown heart, so not sure how that works. A mechanical valve is fitted, but not sure how that goes if your heart is still growing.
      If that is not an issue, I’d go with mechanical. Is not that bad. Mine went a bit crazy at the start of the pandemic and then have been stable again since.
      I just eat the same amount of salad every day, besides that, most of the things are totally normal

    I had aorta surgery in 2022 and at 1 year routine check up they said I have severe aortic regurgitation and I must do aortic valve replacement.

      I had a bicuspid valve and was asymptomatic but being told that my aortic stenosis was severe. I was active and felt great. I could hear thumping heart beat but that's all.
      I was pushed to replace the valve and eventually gave in and consented. That was over two years ago. Ever since the surgery, I've had ongoing chest pain, light headed, fatigued, dizzy, I fainted once when doing a job at home that had been routine prior to surgery. The doctors are taking no responsibility and are in denial of what I regard as a surgical failure. Only YOU can make the decision for this type of surgery so I would you to ask clearly to your doctor's 'what if' questions.
      My current capacity is about 60% of pre-surgical capacity.
      Quality of life is compromised despite the lies of improved capacity made by the cardiologist to get me to agree to the new valve.
      I refer to IT as my donkey valve.

      Дмитрий Труфанов he didn’t put a mechanical one, I think. He is much older so an animal one would probably be good enough for him. Schwarzenegger had 3 animal ones already too.
      Mick records so loudly that probably is not a very big issue. I hear more when I do subtle recordings. Also, their songs are around 3 mins long. Shouldn’t be too hard to remove the clicks on post. Live, no one would hear since EVERYTHING is mega loud hahaha

      K2 food like broccoli, cauliflower, cale, workouts can make your inr lower. I eat broccoli in doses each week. A bit low-carb. No grains.
      Eat healthy fats like olive Oil, walnuts, avocado every week.
      Can Google wafarin Foods that impact inr.

      All of my doctors (family, cardio...) recommended the vaccine. I took my 1st dose already and just waiting on the second. Got some (common) side effects but My INR did not get affected, was in range all of the time. For the bit of fever I got, just took tylenol every 4 hours during the day after, but the next day was almost at 100% again. Was pretty quick recovery.
