Hi again,

It seems every time I try, it tells me the site reached the max amount of questions for the day.  I was ust curious to hear from others actually with a tissue valve.  I keep hoping I hear about it lasting longer than I think it will.  Maybe I am just wishful thinking. I really hate the idea of the Coumadin.  From I understand, the Predexa isn't an option for the mechanical valve.  It will be such an adjustment for me to be on Coumadin.  I travel alot with my husband and I don't want to be tied to a lab...and have to watch everything I eat...I eat alot of spinach and other dark greens....I love it!!  And I like an occasional glass of wine with my husband.  It will be a life changing event for me and I would rather not.  I will do what I have to do when the time comes but I just want as much information as possible.  SOrry for rambling on so much...I appreciate your time and attention.

Hasn't the information provided on your prior posts help you?  I don't know what can be additional information that could help.  Weren't you going to go to the expert forum?...no response?
