Hi everyone just had a triple bypass on Wednesday, all planned. Feeling really well today, sat in the chair next to the bed.
I did feel rough when I came out of surgery on Wednesday, to be expected but improved daily and I can definitely say I feel well today. Onwards and upwards x

Congratulations on your successful operation and your recovery.
The first few months following bypass surgery aren't much fun, but keep up with the breathing/huffing exercises, the daily walk, and the shoulder roll exercises, and before too long you'll wake up one morning free from all symptoms of angina, and you'll feel so much younger, fitter, and full of vitality!
I haven't had a by-pass, but I'm very impressed that you are compos mentis enough (pain-killers?) to type legibly. Hope you get home soonest. 😊
Hello
Fantastic news I am so pleased to read your post , it cheers me up when I see posts like this and hope it gives hope and confidence to others that are about go through the same
Sounds like you are doing really well and will be home relaxing in time for Christmas
Thank you for updating us x
Dear Nobo12
Good luck with your continuing recovery, every step is a step nearer home where you can fully recover.
Hi nobo. Great to read such positive news. I am in awe that you are capable of communicating so soon, it is amazing what the body can go through isn't it. Hoping you will be home for Christmas and with your family. X
That's great news, just make sure you don't overdo things cos you feel so well, especially once you get home, very easy to do, I speak from experience 🤣 At least you should be home for Christmas too.
Good for you . It’s even better when you get home . Make sure you follow the guidance on walking , exercises and diet.Had a quadruple three months ago and am back to normal apart from some mild soreness and numbness from the chest where one of the grafts was harvested . All scars are healed and just have to remember that the sternum can take up to a year to fully knot back together. Am back in the gym and at the driving range .
Enjoy your Christmas in the knowledge you have a healthy heart again and a second chance .
Congratulations. Sending you a massive amount of good wishes as you continue with your recovery. Breathing exercises, shoulder rolls, gentle daily walks and you will be amazed how quickly you recover. Keep taking the pain medication for as long as you need to. Rest as much as you need and raise your feet when you are seated.
Good luck!
Wow! Amazing and I’m both impressed and comforted in case this becomes necessary for me in the future! Well done and hope your speedy (but not too speedy - don’t overdo it) recovery continues 👍
So pleased your on the mend . Im on the waiting list either stents or bypass im scared stiff but I love yo hear success stories . Speedy recovery to you 🙏🏽❤
Nice one!
Just take it slow and before you know it you will be boring your friends with stories about your bypass just like I do 😂!
Glad all is going well, I am having a double bypass and Aortic Valve replacement after Christmas here in France, you've made me feel better about it thank you.
