Bypass surgery incoming

[Stevie335]

Hi everyone. After 12 months of fear, dread and panic, ive this morning received a call to say im going to have my quad bypass done on monday 😬 got to have pre op thurssay coming then admitted Sunday night. Im so scared im actually in tears. A lot of planning now between now and then and a lot of mental preoperation needed. Just want to say thank you to each and everyone of you on here, you have really helped in the bad times to put my mind at ease. Hopefully see you all on the other side ❤❤

Thank you x

you will be pleasantly surprised when you get in to the cardiac ward. The staff are well trained to make you feel at ease. I was so wound up beforehand, but fears melted as I entered the hospital.

Waiting for the op is the worst bit, and your wait is nearly over.

Good luck and hope all goes well.... I will be interested to hear how you find it,I am two months into waiting for a 5 artery bypass (quintuple bypass)

Has it taken 12 months since you were placed on the waiting list?

[Stevie335 in reply to Mydog8it]

Thank you, yes i originally got my diagnosis this time last year. One thing ive learned is chase up your appointments, i didnt because in all honesty buried my head in the sand hoping it would go away x

[Mydog8it in reply to Stevie335]

Well thats depressed me.... having to put up with the symptoms for possibly a year or so 😒I had my pre op after 4 weeks on the waiting list so assumed it would be quick, maybe not so......... oh well.

Good luck and I look forward to reading about your recovery.

[Stevie335 in reply to Mydog8it]

They only have a 12 week window after pre op so fingers crossed it wont be long for you, i had troubles with referrals not going through, cancelled appointments etc so hopefully my case is a one off.

Hello

I have always been an anxious person and I mean really anxious

When I got told I needed a triple Bypass I was petrified

But if we are told this is what we need then what else can we do as this is what is going to give us a new lease of life !

I am sorry you have been in tears as well as the fear deep down you could aso be feeling relieved finally you are getting it done

Once you are in there and you see how well the Nurses and efficient they are you will feel safe other patients will have either just had it done or be like you going to have it done these Surgeons do these ops everyday and you are in the safest hands you could be

All I can say is if I can do it you can

I am looking forward to seeing your updates and reading about your road to recovery

Keep us updated x

[Stevie335 in reply to BeKind28-]

As always thank you for your words both now and along my journey ❤

Pull yourself together man ! That’s what I kept saying to myself when I was laying in Maidstone hospital on a Saturday morning waiting to be transferred to St Tommys’ for wuadruple CABG. It hit me hard and clear on that morning , I buckled like busted bike front wheel, balled my bloody eyes out 🤦🏼👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻. Felt like I’d let the side down. Was fit & string and boom 💥. Stevie, I’m sure you’ll be fine , wishing you a success procedure and comfiest rehab . I’m only 5 months from Nate and surgery and making a fantastic recovery ❤️‍🩹. Just about to hit my treadmill for a 5k 👍🏻👍🏻. All best Stevie ❤️❤️

Good Luck Mate, come back when it's all done with the good news!

Hi Stevie. You'll have a new lease of life once you've had your bypass. You'll be running around come springtime!!! Let us know how you're doing when you're back home (my husband had a quad bypass on a Monday and was back home on the Friday).

What a brilliant New Year gift you've got!

Love and hugs. Jan xxx
