Every experience is different. I am 70 yr diabetic, high BP, anemic, overweight male. I didn't study up on the surgery because I didn't want to know. Sometime knowledge brings fear with it and I didn't want to fear it. Surgery went well and I spent the customary 2 days in ICU. What shocked me was for the next three days I felt like a blob. Zero strength. I couldn't even take the top off a bottle of water. My cardio crew worked constantly to restore me to a functioning state. (Love you guys.) It took a couple months to regain my strength. It's been 9 months and I am 100% again. Best wishes to anyone having this procedure.

Hello...I am a student studying in 8th grade..and I am willing to become cardio surgeon in my future ahead...after watching this video I'm feeling that to be a doctor is not easy..and I really appreciate all the doctors of this hospital 👏🏽👏🏽 thank you for this informative video 🙏🏼

my husband has been told today that he will need an open heart surgery 😢 I am so scare! how was it for you?

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to watch a video before my surgery. I went to the hospital because I had a small pain in my chest and a friend talked me into going. Before I knew it I was told I needed a bypass. I had no idea what to expect, or how long it would take to recover my strength back. The worst part was the drugs they use, which caused paranoia and fear of the nurses that were trying to help me. This reaction is common I've found out and should be discussed more. Because of Covid, no one was allowed to be with me, and I went through the experience alone. I'm ok now, after 6 months. I think these videos are very helpful and should be watched even by people with no heart disease. Like me, you never know what might come your way.

I’m 52 and had severe AS found coincidentally. 5 months later - much to the surprise of my cardiologist - I had a bypass and AV replacement. The recovery has been hell. I’m at 8 weeks post-op and would never want to go through this experience again but it will repeat as I was given a bovine valve which will eventually wear out. I don’t know how I’ll ever survive this experience a 2nd time down the road.

Nice and friendly hispital staff wonders of medical has really prolonged this man's life

My heart surgery was recently completed and improved and coincidered to me my new champion self.the previous life that I got to keep and now I see what I am here for

I had 4 buy passes 3 yrs ago getting ready to do some stress test next week to see how the bypasses are doing .

Ohhhh great after watching this video i'm already seeing myself as a health personnel.......I'm a fisrt year student studying Nursing as specialty and wish to become a nurse in such developed hospital.......

I had a triple bypass about 18 months ago. It was pre-emptive. No heart attack or stroke. I went home after 4 days in the hospital. Recovery was uneventful. The only thing that gave me any trouble was my chest skin. My entire chest felt like I had a severe sunburn. It was so raw. Any contact was excruciating. In the shower the water hitting my chest was very painful. My doctor had no idea what was happening. One nurse later told me that some prep procedures are very aggressive when it comes to removing chest hair. Otherwise, at 68 years old I feel relatively healthy. I go for walks almost every day.

@@halinabemben9932 I don't remember any other issues after the bypass. Sometimes the incision will suddenly itch severely. It may be unrelated, but since the bypass, my mouth is more sensitive to hot or spicy food. Maybe a coincidence?

I had mitral valve repair surgery in 2005 at the Rochester Mayo clinic. It has been quite a journey. And painful. I still feel different pains still, like the terrible pain from the pacemaker wire that was put in. My liver has different pain above it from the wire placement. I have been told that I am a princess and a pea, too sensitive. But no one was really understanding about all the pain.

Thank you.

"should i be awake for this?" "well no, but as long as you are can you hold your ribcage open for me?"

This is great thank you :D I am having my last Open Heart surgery in a few months I had 9 so far. So thank you :D Super Nervous tbh tbh.

From what i understand its pain with a side of pain washed down with more pain.

Amazing!

While this. is informative it leaves out several things. I had severe heartburn for 18 months and test after test. Finally I had an angiogram and they discovered blockages. One week later , one year and 2 days ago, I had a quintuple bypass. The operation played havoc with my sugar which had been normal but after skyrocketed to 283. The catheter which is normal caused a urinary tract infection which became a major inconvenience. The surgery went great, surgeon ok'd me to leave in five days but my GP kept me for 8 due to the high WBC. In hindsight the surgery is the easiest part of the situation. The recovery is tough for about 3 weeks. I had to walk up a flight of stairs to my condo, difficult. After removal of the catheter everything went much easier. I was playing golf after 9 weeks, poorly. There was one spot above my ankle where Dr. Newman used a vein which was slow to heal but wound care took over and it worked out fine. The cough I developed was terrible and hurt like a b.....h. I was in Delray Hospital in Florida and the staff and doctors were great. I am 70, 69 at the time, and weigh 330 and never had a hiccup through the process. Know your own body and make them test if you don't feel right. I'm the one who pushed for the angiogram after 18 months. Be your own advocate. I'm single and got through it . Don't put it off and you'll be fine. Best of luck to anyone who might have to have bypass surgery someday

I was when I was in Labour, never had any surgery before but I needed an emergency c section when I had done fully awake, it was an amazing experience and it’s made me less scared about having surgery from now on although I think this kind of surgery is more of a major surgery even though a c section is still major I’d be more worried about having this done :)

Now, because of drug addicts and politicians, you need to learn to psych yourself into not feeling pain. I have two torn rotator cuffs, 8 bulging and herniated dices in my spine, knee replace cements and having mitral valve replacement in two weeks. You simply have to learn to live with it and find a focus. I look to my 2 grandchildren as a reason to keep going. I need to embarrass them. Wishing you strength and focus. Hold on. Life is worth living. I also had stage 4 cancer 23 years ago. I did it. you can.
