On 14th May 2025, I underwent a life saving Bentall procedure. While the days leading up to surgery were filled with uncertainty and anxiety, I felt reassured knowing I was in the hands of an experienced team. The operation was successful, and each day thereafter marked a new milestone in my recovery.
