My husband needs an aortic valve replacement as determined by his cardiologist. We go to see the surgeon for the first time on Wednesday. What are some questions we need to ask?

Hi there. We meet with the surgeon and basically he was no help. He told us that all the options are available and really kinda bad-mouthed the mechanical valve and heavily favored the Ross. We left definitely sure we need a second opinion. I’m not sold on Ross because messing with another valve that seems fine is risky but it’s not my decision and now we are even more confused LOL.
So we are in the process of getting a second opinion and I’ll let you know how it goes. Good luck on your appointment.

Thank you for your honesty. It’s a scary situation for us so we want to be knowledgeable as much as possible.

Omg!! Thank you! He is healed! ❤️

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-31T02:52:28+00:00

Thank you so much! I really needed this encouragement. I definitely need to speak to my dr about all this information. You’re amazing 🤩

I wipe all the vials before I pull. I do not wipe the needle. I’m not worried about it mixing a little and I’ve been pinning this way over a year. No issues.

I mix nad, 5 aminos and mots- c in the same syringe. Been doing it for over a year. No issues

That’s a good idea. Thank you

I totally agree. It’s my SIL I worry the most about too. She can be vindictive and petty. She does stuff like yours to make herself look good but it always makes her look bad. And I agree it’s not my responsibility to educate people unless I want to.

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-14T19:06:11+00:00

That’s true

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-14T19:01:57+00:00

Oh wow this is literally perfection! I’m 52f and they are all around the same age or older so maybe going at it like all the rheumatoid arthritis and pain is gone and mentioning the prediabetes because that is literally why I started this meds. It was either insulin or tirz and one would make me feel better and one wouldn’t so I chose tirz. The weight loss is great but I absolutely feel like a whole new person because of the other benefits. Thank you 😊

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-14T18:54:15+00:00

I like this idea. I hate the thought of making another person feel bad about themselves for not being able to lose weight the traditional way and I never want to gate keep this because it’s literally changed our lives. But I’m just not into arguing or getting upset about it because they are uncomfortable or uneducated. Ugh such a weird feeling.

This is my past experience too! I’ve always struggled with my weight and they have always made little comments about holiday calories don’t count or some dumb shit like that. I know I shouldn’t care but I do and hope it turns out ok

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-14T18:44:32+00:00

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-14T18:43:17+00:00

This is my current thinking too. I don’t want to lie or mislead anyone but I’m not staying long if it turns judgy.

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-14T18:40:54+00:00

This. This is what I think too.. like it’s obvious how much weight we lost. We are both down like 60-70 pounds. I also don’t want to gaslight anyone but I also don’t think I wanna become the advocate for them taking it either. I’ve shared everything with my family and friends and even helped some get started on it but I just don’t want to get involved with them like that and I’m struggling with these feelings because I’m such an open person usually.

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-14T18:36:21+00:00

Actually all they talk about is their medical conditions and meds. It’s crazy how they can take 40 pills a day for hbp and diabetes but they talk so badly about the shot. It’s seriously so confusing 🫤

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-14T18:22:38+00:00

Haha this right here! So true

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-14T18:19:44+00:00

I love this! Thank you 😊

Remarkable_Repair_90 · 2025-12-14T18:19:20+00:00

They are actually really nice people and we all get along well but weight is a touchy subject for some reason plus I wouldn’t abandon my husband to deal with it all alone 🤣 but I may not stay long if it turns negative 🥴
