I had spinal surgery for a tumor & then had to have bilateral hip replacements back when I was 30 & the surgeries were so so soooooo bad. The suffering was blinding. And I’m left in crippling pain from it. Now I’m showing signs of some heart blockages & I’m worried if this surgery will be similar? How are you now? I hope you’re not still struggling. I’m scared tbh

Sneeze, cough or break wind! Once back on the ward after a quintuple bypass I farted which sounded like someone sat on a duck, which made a nurse laugh, and I got the giggles and couldnt stop. Those nurses are not called Angels for nothing.

This is not accurate. You’re not supposed to be using a walker of any kind. It puts a lot of stress on the chest Where the incision took place. That’s why there’s a pillow. You’re supposed to use your legs and your abs to get up and down.

I'm feeling really freaked out about this whole thing but maybe I shouldn't be that freaked out at all I have a ASD and I'm 28 and I'm having to go to heart surgery. the thing I'm optimistic about is the recovery time should not be as long as my mom who is 55 she had leaky valve surgery I'm just getting a patched hole. it's probably just me I don't need to be freaked out at all

I'm having my 3rd open heart surgery next week. I'm 24, the last one was when I was 14. When you wake up you will feel uthoric. Yes, it can be painful at times, but nothing you cant handle. When you are in that moment everything is manageable.

@@FSUSean2112 had to look that up, not too familiar on the process of that. I got my unicuspid valve replaced. Heart surgery was the easiest part for me, besides a catheter getting taken out and going back in like 3 times. I got readmitted 3 times, and have had a total of 6 tubes all together. I only had 1 with heart surgery, and didn't even wake up with a breathing tube. Pretty healthy guy, going in.. I got readmitted the first time for fluid around my heart and left lung, 2 liters together, then 2nd time 2 liters of fluid in my left lung, then 3rd time 1.5 liters in left lung. It's all cause, I'm young it suppose to be a straightforward surgery. I take 2 inflammatory pills now. I wrote this on my way to cardiac rehab lol. I can write more, once you respond back...

It's Ironic that this horrible experience for the patient is not a cure. It just relives the symptoms and your bypasses can be useless in as few as 2-3 years. The Nurses have "Medications" to assist with constipation?...do they mean Laxatives and Suppositories??

@tanschi8449 3 жыл бұрын

It depends on what type of heart surgery you have. It was a cure for me. It's an awful experience, but sometime you have to go through it to feel better there's no other way to go about it

@@tanschi8449 I was referring to Bypass Surgery, which any Cardiologist will tell you is not a cure...it just bypasses blockages, and the bypass grafts themselves can later become clogged.
