I recently, July 9th had a mitral valve repair on my heart. Just wondering if anyone out there has had any experience recovering from this type of surgery. The valve leakage was the only issue as I have low cholesterol and low blood pressure with no placque. I have been doing the walking routine suggest since getting out of the hospital on July 15th. Walking a little over a mile and a half daily. I was lucky in that the surgery was done robotically and did not require splitting the sternum. No pain meds since the 14th. Any experiences would be appreciated. Doctors all say time is key.
