“Do you feel better after heart valve replacement?”
I am a 45 year old female. I will have a heart valve replacement surgery. Do you feel better after heart valve replacement?

In general people feel better once their heart valve problems are relieved. The main exception is aortic regurgitation (leaking aortic valve) as that does not cause symptoms until it is quite severe and it is preferable to replace the valve before that stage – so you don't feel any better except from knowing that you have avoided developing worse (and possibly untreatable) problems later on.
Yes
