I am a 22 year old male having an aortic valve replacement on June 2nd, 2011. Pre-surgery anxiety is getting the best of me and my online research is both easing some nerves and setting others off. I am very athletic (competed in Track and Field for 4 years in college, set the indoor pent and hept records at my school), lift weights daily and eat very healthy. I'm just looking for someone to answer some questions about the recovery period (will my healthy/active lifestyle lessen the estimates i keep seeing?) and also any necessary change in lifestyle afterwards (i am meeting the surgeon and finding out whether the valve will be mechanical or bioprosthetic after my angiogram).
