Started this last June. All boxes checked and surgery date of dec 27, 2018. Surgeon heard a heart murmur he wanted to get checked out so had a TEE and cardiologist discovered I had a ruptured aortic aneurysm (luckily it was at the sinus of valsalva, so I was just bleeding back into my right atrium instead of bleeding out). Heart surgery immediately scheduled, I had to go out of state for surgery because it is a rare and involved surgery and no one around my area had performed it. On bipass pump for >6 hours and surgeon discovered my aortic valve leaflets were trash, so new valve too. Now, 5 months after heart surgery I have been cleared for the sleeve. Surgery date set for July 23rd, 2019.
