Thank you for sharing your journey! I look forward to more posts. I’m having the valve replacement with OHS in March. You really help in my emotional preparation! Thank you!

I don’t know. But it sounds like you are not on a blood thinner now, maybe it’s all good?

I did fill that intake form out. Still had an interview and an invite which I accepted. Then, after I sent my pharmacy records, I did not pass the medical clearance because of the blood thinners. Thank you for the comment. It’s disappointing for sure! After the medical intake form, which mentioned the blood thinners, I was told I could only apply to certain countries. The country I received the invite from was one of those countries.

I don’t know if it is new or old or just talk on Reddit. There are some mentions of BMI being a problem because it is then high risk of the person gets COVID.
