MEB 2 Open heart surgery

[carr23]

I recently had two open heart surgeries. I was sent to a German doctor who I did not feel comfortable with from the start but pretty much told tough luck.... The first surgery was to repair my aortic valve and install a stint. About a month after the surgery I got really sick and was told I had bacterea in my heart and it was eatting away the stitches which cause a hole in my heart and I need surgery ASAP.. once again I said I didnt feel comfortable with the surgery being done by the same doctor but was told the condition got to bad that they couldnt take the risk to fly me back to the states... so again after this surgery another hole opened up but it wasnt as bad and I havent been sick but before they were going to release me from the hospital they wanted to do a 3rd surgery and I refused I said I dont know heart surgeries but I know baseball and Im not going to let you get the third strike on me. I am just starting my MEB board.. I told them I didnt feel comfortbale being stationed in Germany in the chance the 3rd surgery becomes a emergency like the second one and if I could get PCS's to the states or if they could do something to speed up the MEB so its over with quick and I can just get home soon so I dont have to risk being over here and it happening again. They told me dont worry we will just fly you to the states. I told them when I learned I had to get a second surgery I didnt have an option of flying back to the states and its not a risk I want to take. They talked it over and said no to PCSing me or speeding up the MED. My mom is furious and contacted a Senator and I guess they are going through the Pentagon to get someone real high ranking to come in and sort everything out. My question is what kind of rating do you think I should get? The third surgery they said I have to have a mechanical valve installed and will require multiple surgeries through out my life. Also, is there any sort of option that I have that could get me back to the states during my MEB? I can tell the reason they dont want to is paperwork but I mean I've went through 2 heart surgeries I think that in itself shows Im not faking anything

I also had 2 open heart surgeries. I have a prosthetic aortic valve in my heart now and am on blood thinners for life as a result. The only way you would have multiple surgeries is if you are over the age of 50. If you are under the age of 50 then you will get a mechanical vale and never have to have another surgery. If you are over 50 then more than likely you will get a Pigs valve. The life expectancy of a Pigs valve is 15 years or less. Hope this helps.
