Hello Everyone!!! I had my heart valve repair on February 26th, 2020 at Cleveland Clinic. I'm two weeks post op and I've been home a week today.

Hi Sarah, here's to a speedy recovery for you. I am 3/4 weeks post op and have found my recovery motoring along since being at home.

Anyone one else have/had issues with recovering from activities before surgery? I had my second TEE Wednesday and I'm still dragging my feet to recover

Sarah - I'm sorry to hear that. Did you have a similar reaction after your first TEE? You may want to call to find out if there was a change in the form of anesthesia or duration of the procedure. The sedation normally dissipates pretty quickly. Wishing you the best!

Marie Myers

The sedation May have been different between the 2 places. There is very little â€œhangoverâ€ with propofol, and a little more lingering fatigue with midazolam and / or fentanyl. Sedation can be done with either plan. Either way, you hopefully will be feeling back to normal soon.
