Congrats on your successful recovery and I hope that your valve lasts for a long long time.
I do want to ask though, why did you decide to go with Ross's procedure? I am 21 myself and have a bicuspid valve, however my surgeon tells me that the pulmonary valve will last 10-12 years at the best, if I go with Ross. I have also done some reading and it seems that this procedure is more or less recommended for older patients.
Maybe your diagnosis is a little different? Or maybe mechanical valve just wasn't an option for you? I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts on this, as I am really scared to death knowing that the surgery is coming 😬
Good luck!
