OT: Update on my need for Tricuspid valve replacement heart surgery

Per the Cardiac Surgeon I saw today for a second opinion, I do not need to have heart surgery at this time.


My regurgitation is only moderate and I have no symptoms so at this time all we need to do is monitor my heart.


In 4 mos they want to do another heart sono to check status.



If the regurgitation stays moderate and I get no symptoms no surgery will be needed. 



He said they only operate when there are symptoms and severe regurgitation.



YAY!!!



Thank you all for your support and prayers.




Sincerely,



Teena Adler

I am doing really well.  Still working towards an approval to get my revision.  I should know by August what the determination is of my first appeal. 
How is your ERNY?  Have you lost all of you excess weight since you had your revision and your fistula repaired?
