Anyone had Triple Bypass, AortIc Valve replacement & Aortic Root surgery?
Four weeks ago my surgeon told me I needed my bypass surgery fairly urgently. That was a shock and I did not take in the added bit that my aorta valve needs replacing and my aortic rood is ballooned and probably needs replacing all at the same time. He just said it complicates the surgery, but he can

Post heart surgery
Hi everyone. My husband had heart bypass surgery 19 weeks ago and initially recovered really well but for the last 8 weeks or so has felt nauseous and been sick almost everyday. The doctors surgery isn’t much help and it’s beginning to have an adverse effect on our relationship. Is this normal?

Dont give up hope! Miracles can & do happen My dad - covid-19 / ICU
I am absolutely thrilled to say my dad has been stepped down from ICU and onto a ward for rehabilitation & monitoring of his anti coagulation in the hope for no more internal bleeds or anything else for that matter . They lined the corridors with drs, surgeons, nurses, physio therapists and the pharmacist

Keep on running
So, eight months ago today I suffered a heart attack and ten days later had triple bypass surgery. Yesterday I completed week 5, run 3 and will start week 6 tomorrow. I never would have thought this possible but am going to keep going and do my best to finish the programme.

Hello Question about warfarin- anyone had any experience of it causing internal bleeding? My farther had a mechanical heart valve and triple heart bypass in march , the warfarin is needed to thin the blood to protect the heart valve but every time they try to re-start the warfarin a bleed seems to happen

SERIOUSLY BIG
Hello, I’m new here and just wanted to share my story in the hope of finding support and people like me. And when I say like me, I mean SERIOUSLY morbidly obese, not ‘oh I’m 11 stone and I need to lose weight’ I’m 30 stone and have a BMI of 76. So yeah, it’s no competition, but you do not know how hard

Questions to ask Cardiac Surgeon
After being referred for a heart bypass just before lockdown, to my surprise I had an appointment to see the surgeon in two days. My anagram showed arteries completely block on RHS and 3 stents needed in LHS. Valves OK. A few weeks later my 'Nuclear MRI's' showed quite good blood flow on resting. In

Blood sugar all over the place
It's been 20days after my 5x bypass. My blood sugar level was not well controlled at all. I'm on metformin 500g x twice daily. BMI 21, I am a type 2 Does cabg affect blood sugar? I'm on iron pills and its making me constipated too. Does anyone have the same experience? I'm also watchful of my food.

Aftercare from hospital after CABG (or lack of!)
My fiancé had x3 bypass in late January 2020. He had AFib and a heart flutter after surgery and had to spend additional time in icu. He has missed out on all aspects of aftercare - no cardiac rehab and 1 telephone consultation with his original cardiac consultant (not the team that completed his surgery

Hi everyone, I am on a calorie counting diet and just completed week 1 of NHS fitness plan. I have lost 10lbs since 19 March, half when I was poorly and half on purpose. I would like to lose around three and a half or four stone. I spoke to a friend who had had a gastric band fitted and lost 30kg

Ear blocked after my CABG bypass
Does anyone get any ear muffled after surgery? My right ear is like a little blocked, a little muffled after 10days into my surgery. Just curious if this is common. And having sleepless nights. I managed to wink only 30-60min and will be awake. Surely frustrating Cheers
