CABG recovery - sleeping on side...
Hiya, I'm starting recovery week 7 after an elective triple bypass. Advised to sleep on back until sternum sorts itself out. Does anyone know when and how I can begin to rest on my side. Thanks

New heart problem
Advice needed on angiogram I have a 98% blocked and calcified left coronary artery. Lad is 97% blocked and 4 more vessels on left side77% blocked. Too dangerous to stent or cabg. Given medication. I feel like a time bomb. Does anyone have the same problem

Counting down the days till the op.
Hello, Any advise would be welcome. As a couple we are now waiting for my husband to have double heart bypass surgery on 10th June. Every morning waking up to the reality is hard. The physical tips I’m reading is helpful but how do you recognise the emotional side is getting to much and seek help.

Sauna/ Steam room/ after bypass.
Hi everyone, hope everything is going ok. Just wondered if anyone who has had a triple heart bypass has been told not to use any of these? Also thinking are you aloud to use a hot tub? Just thinking, as I would like to possibly join a health club. Thanks.

Today’s the day.
The day has arrived when my husband goes into hospital for his triple bypass surgery. Operation scheduled for Thursday morning. So many mixed feeling my head is spinning. Relief that it’s maybe the start of a better life for him and fear of losing him. Not being able to visit him is just

London to Birmingham canal walk
A year ago I discovered a brother I never knew existed. I was born in London in 1960 and Mike was born in Birmingham in 1946. We have met in between lockdowns! I have survived three heart attacks, I have been stented, had angioplasty and CABG. My partner Ruby and I felt it would be appropriate to walk

Hello
Hi everyone, I am Jim aged 61 and living on the Isle of Wight with Ruby, my long suffering partner. I have survived three heart attacks, been stented, had angioplasty and a coronary artery bypass graft to the the superior side of my heart as the inferior side was too badly damaged for a graft to be viable

Conflicting diet plans
I am wondering if anyone can give me some dietary advice. I am type 2 diabetic, so need to avoid sugars. I have had heart attack, stents and bypass surgery, and was advised to follow a low carb, high protein diet. But now I have developed a gall bladder problem and am told I need to go on a low fat diet

Pain, Pain and More Pain
I am usually pretty upbeat. After both my bypass and amputation I could see improvement if not on a daily basis definitely as the weeks passed. However 2021 has been much more of a struggle. In the background some will know I am having stump and housing issues. Since shortly after the amputation I have

Hi, I’ve got my bypass surgery done on 1/12/2020 and it’s some heavy kind of feeling but it doesn’t hurt. I was just wondering if it’s normal or what to do about it. Please do let me know, Thank you.

Want to share experiences.
I had bypass surgery Mar 4th 5 arteries fixed far bigger than surgeon expected. I am having bad pain on the leg that was the donar. Plus having nerve electric feeling saps in both legs. Also had cellulitis on donar leg. Looking to see similar experiences of others. I feel like I am alone out here.

How long did it take you to recover after heart bypass surgery?
Hi everyone I had emergency heart bypass surgery about 14 weeks ago. I have spent the “classic” 12 weeks off work, focused on recovery etc. Eating and sleeping is fine, and more or less adjusted to meds ok now. I also do the BHF cardiac rehab level 4 a few times a week, and try to walk about 5 times
