Nice to know a fellow member on the byways of the zipper chested people on the planet. I had to stay on the lortabs for close to two months following it there was something on the inside of my chest that wasn't healing properly.

I understand there is a method in limited use now where they go through a 1 inch window opened in the left side, between ribs #3 and #4 and do the bypass or valve replacement from that approach, negating the need to split (crack open) and wire back together the sternum.
I have four SS wires in my sternum repair. Still there. I carry plastic cards form St. Jude and Medtronics that tell TSA agents that I have an artificial valve, a pacemaker and pacemaker leads. They always ask if I would like to go behind a screen to be frisked and wand scanned after I set off the metal detector. I just laugh and say, "no".
Never been frisked by a lady agent.
Was surprised when I found out how many carbon filer heart valves St Jude sells a year.
My valve looks like this one
This is my pacemaker
My cardiologist discussed my preferred shotgun shoulder positioning before putting in my pacemaker. Really considerate I thought.
