Welcome
Many people in this community have mechanical heart valves , that includes me .
Your son might feel less isolated if he knows other people who have had similar heart surgery .
It was difficult during covid times to have surgery . I had emergency OHS during those times .
I hope that your son starts to feel a bit better when he has spent time with you . Take care . "

May I ask how long after surgery did you take anticoagulants? And, do you take after that aspirin and how long ? Because I am 7 month after mitral valve repair, and 6 months I was on sintrom, after that 1 month of so called baby aspirin, but red that no longer aspirin is recommended.

I'm guessing your son never had the opportunity to go to cardiac rehab. I would see if he can attend now. They will give him an appropriate level of exercise based on his ability and they are skilled in handling the depression that comes with heart surgery.
You might also want to let him know about this site. Sometimes it's easier to talk to other heart warriors than your own family. We have a bunch of rock stars who have rebounded after unexpected post-operative challenges. I know he would be embraced by this community and encouraged by those who have walked in his shoes. Safe travels!
