Hi Leah. Although I can't help you - my problem is with the mitral valve - İ have seen the following group recommended on the British Heart Forum by people with aortic valve issues - it is a Facebook site entitled UK Aortic & Heart Defects pre-surgery post surgery. İt is said to be a very supportive group. Also the British Heart Forum has people talking about the Ross procedure. Hope this helps if you weren't aware of these. Good luck with your op and wishing you a very speedy recovery.
