It has been a year since my robotic mitral valve repair surgery by dr Gillinov. Ran a 5 K in honor of this anniversary. Received great test results today. (Stress, echo, blood). So thankful, so blessed.

Congratulations, Else! What a wonderful update. As another Dr. Gillinov mitral valve patient from 3 months ago, it's so encouraging to hear of your great success. I, too, feel so thankful and blessed.

Iâ€™m having robotic mitral valve surgery in July....not Cleveland Clinic, but in Tampa. Really love the surgeon. Congratulations. I love being encouraged by these updates!

I met a new friend through this group! We both had the same surgeon and the same type of surgery at the same hospital. Robotically assisted MV repair by dr Gillinov at the Cleveland Clinic. Phyllisâ€™ surgery was 5 years ago and mine about 5.5 months.

A beautiful picture - you both look wonderful. And hooray for two, happy Dr. Gillinov patients! Very encouraging. I'm guessing you're somewhere in Arizona?

I am smiling from ear-to-ear seeing this wonderful picture. In fact, a few joyful tears might even be swellling up on my eyelids. You two - Else and Phyllis - just made my day, my week, my month, my year and my decade. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for... Read more.
