I am due to go in for a CABG x4. Last Tuesday I was in for the pre op and met the anesthetist etc, and on Thursday had my ultrasound x 2, and an echocardiogram, does anybody know the average waiting time after all that’s been done

Long-term health of bypass grafts.
Hi, Feel slightly fraudulent as I’m fit and healthy, after a bypass in 2016, but I’m just curious for any insights / opinions re one niggling question. I do fairly intense cardio every other day (mostly) and my BMI’s at the top end of normal. For my age - 61 - I’m fairly fit. My question is: do those

CABG and Memory loss
Hi, it's six week since my triple bypass. My scar is healing well and I'm slowly recovering from the surgery. Two things concern me, my legs are still painfully swollen and causing discomfort the other is my short term memory is shot, I'd laugh at my forgetfulness but I'm beginning to find it scary.

post cabg tiredness
This year after my surgery l was dragging myself around tired first blaming the high dose metoprolol and that got reduced somewhat but it turned out l was iron deficient. I had 3months of iron pills and it improved slightly. Then l stopped taking them because they gave me diarrhoea and it dropped again

Leg Problems after CABG / Saphenous Vein Harvested
Hi, I had a CABG x 3 about 18 months back (June 2022). During the ops my left saphenous vein was harvested. I had a stroke in the recovery room, however my question is to other folk that have had CABG and vein removal. Do you have any complications with your leg, loss of feeling, feeling heavy,

GCA flare
Diagnosed April 2018 with PMR. Three months later GCA. I am currently on 3mgs prednisolone. Over the last two days have scalp pain on right side only … no jaw pain. It feels a bit like I am getting a cold sore but no cold sore showing up. Could it be a GCA flare? Thank you to everyone who replies.

Aviva Critical illness , anyone claimed following heart attack & CABG ?
My wife and I took out a policy years ago , critical illness , it covers heart attacks and CABG. I’ve contacted the insurer and in the process of providing information regarding my heart attack. The policy was something we’d forgotten about after all the years. I wondered if anyone else has remembered

Radial artery graft
Hi, I was just wondering if there are others on here who have had their radial artery used for CABG and wondered how long it took for pins and needles to subside in your arm. I am 8 months post op and still experiencing wierd sensations in my arm.

Date brought forward
After a long wait, I was scheduled for cabg x 2 next Monday. Have now received phone call asking my to go tomorrow for surgery on Thursday. Whilst this is great, I am now utterly panic stricken and should be in a mad rush to ensure I have everything sorted, instead I have come to a complete halt! Normal

‼️ Whilst melanoma is less common in people with dark or black skin types, it is unfortunately often associated with greater morbidity and mortality. This is because there is a general misconception that people with darker skin tones are immune to skin cancer and because the early signs and symptoms

Waiting for CABG
I am a 63 year old female waiting for CABG x 2. Have been following posts for a few weeks now but have never been brave enough to introduce myself. I had a heart attack in 2018 followed by one stent. Family history of heart attacks. Attended cardiac rehab and have continued to follow advice to the letter

Pitting on Weight after CABG
Hi all, Fairly new to this and I got an amazing response to my first post. My question this time around is two fold, did anyone have trouble putting on weight after cabg surgery . I am sure the anxiety I have is the culprit but any experiences are welcome. Thanks again.

Hey guys! A few of you may know my story now, had a 2x CABG last year and they diagnosed about a year post op that the heart damage was caused by kawasaki disease. I thought you might want to listen to the podcast - only 14 mins long but it’s part of a series by doctors and other patients/parents (it
