With the team that sewed/made my valve at Edwards Lifesciences Patient Experience. I encourage anybody who is interested who has an Edwards valve to request going. (Here's the link: https://www.edwards.com/patients-care-partners/patient-resources/patient-experience/the-patient-experience-sign-up-form) To meet the folks who made the valve that is keeping you alive is special. (Understatement.)

Herb Greenberg

Thanks all. Ana, you remain an inspiration. Marie/Andrew thanks. John!!!! Glad to see you are doing so well, as well. The good news, John, is that if we need it replaced, we were both likely sized for TAVR. I met a lot of TAVR folks, including one guy who had... Read more.

Hi all, today is my 3-year anniversary. Encouraging comments on this site helped me go into surgery with a sense of excitement rather than fear or dread. Attitude going in is SO important and if you're wondering... yes, there is a great life post-surgery. I did this quick video as... Read more.

Thank you Herb! I'm someone that you're helping with your post!

Herb Greenberg

Thanks all, and Steven - thrilled. Before my surgery I had some image of me being a near invalid for a short while. Just the opposite. Let's put it like this: I was staying at a hotel in Cleveland, which meant I'd be there for 10 days, or a few... Read more.
