For me the surgery was the only real solution and I don't regret it :thumbup: I know of another person who had to have it done twice , so it is not perfect, but definitely worth a try. Like you I hated having to take meds and the meds never stopped mine .
The surgery is scary ( I mean they are playing with your heart after all :shock: LOL) but afterward you are sore for a couple of days and then you are fine . No meds , no problems. Mine started in my 20s got worse in my 30s , had it done when I was 38. Never looked back
