A porcine experimental valve ( they told me it was experimental after the surgery) and part of my aortic arch is Dacron tubing. My brother told me if it’s a pig valve there is no chance of rejection lol
Surgery didn’t hurt at all strangely enough, I was expecting to be miserable. It leave me breathless if I did anything for about a year and no one can explain why.
The bottom of my scar turned into a incisional hernia so when I do squats I use two belts one on my lower chest to hold in stuff and another one down one my waist. Looks strange but it works.
When life knocks you down you have to adapt.
