Update on tooth extraction before CABG surgery

I just want to thank all the kind and helpful people who responded to my post about my husband's tooth extraction prior to triple bypass surgery. I have spoken with both his cardiologist and his surgical team and both have given the go ahead for the extraction, and both feel it is up to the dentist whether or not he will need antibiotics. My mind is now at rest - on that topic at least!

Again a great big thank you for all your guidance

Thank you so much. My husband came through the operation very well but left with some emotional issues. I do hope you are well and enjoying Christmas.

Hello :-)

I am sorry to hear that but glad the operation went well and the physical recovery is going well to

I had my Bypasses over 3 years ago and I do struggle more with the emotional and anxiety side which for some of us it affects this way but hopefully with support and time this will improve for him and if it does not get him to talk with the Doctor as he may need a little support but he will get there :-) x

Since joining this forum last summer I could not help but notice your many kind and supportive posts to others despite fighting your own problems so thank you.

My husband begins rehab in a couple of weeks, so I an hoping meeting others with similar problems will help.

Hello :-)

I never was able to go to Rehab as I am agoraphobic and that is the one thing I know would have really helped me and I am sure it will help your Husband so much as it has so many :-)

Thank you for your kind words I really appreciate it and keep us updated how his Rehab goes :-) x
