I had valve replacement done. I was born with a narrow valve and had it stretched open at 3 and then replaced at 41. I'm part pig now. Oink. My cardiologist said I have zero restrictions over and over again. When I told him I was running he was impressed and happy and told me to keep going. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Did you go with the pig valve so you could drink alcohol? I've another friend who said he could have gotten an artificial valve that never needs replacing, but if so he wouldn't be able to drink alcohol.

My surgeon said he preferred pig over mechanical otherwise I'd need to be on blood thinners the rest of my life.
