Hi!! Well the time is here. At a bright and early 5:30 a.m., I will be undergoing a Ross Procedure with Dr. Quarti at Houston Methodist! I’m equal parts nervous and excited! I’ll update tomorrow if I’m up for it, or when I can. I’m thankful to this group and community for making this waiting period MUCH easier. Talk soon🫀
Hi! A few months ago I posted about meeting with my surgeon and opting for the Ross Procedure (I am a 27 yo F in Houston). Well, I am less than three weeks from this procedure! Recently, and expectedly, I have been becoming increasingly anxious and emotional whenever I think too much about my surgery. I have NEVER had a surgery before, or have undergone any sort of anesthesia, so I am a bit nervous. My anxieties generally surround surviving the surgery. If anyone has any tips/tricks to ease the mind a little bit more, I would greatly appreciate them!
