CABG recovery
Evening all, hope everyone is having a good day. Can I ask anyone who has had bypass surgery their experience of the level of pain when you come round ? I hear everything from virtually zero to the worst pain you can experience, some people saying that they wouldnt have gone through with the procedure

CABG update
I’ve been home since Wednesday evening, so 4 full days and things are ok. I’ve been walking in the garden and slowly building up stamina but it’s taking a lot out of me at the moment. To date, I’ve planned my days (moving stuff about) so that I use the stairs once in the morning to go down and once

CABG update
How cool is this ? Love the war wound! Back home last night in the rain - my loving wife drove to the Royal Brompton and home to Bedfordshire in the pouring rain last night to get me home - a train journey would have been hell! A night in my own bed, some proper sleep, a shave, haircut and shower

CABG Update
On the mend - it’s funny how you seem to feel improvements exponentially each day but a few ups and downs - they’re planning to discharge me on Tuesday if the pace of recovery continues - just don’t want to rush it too much but all seems positive so far 😀

Done - 3 new pipes in and up walking - they don’t hang around, do they? No real pain but plenty of soreness - now the real journey starts 😀

Nodular Melanoma
‼ The most common sites for nodular melanoma to present are on sun-exposed areas such as the head and neck, also often found on the trunk in men and legs in women - but it can appear in other areas of the body. They grow fast, downward and become quickly invasive (within months) so early detection is

Thanks for all the support guys and gals - just a final warm up before kick off and the roar of a capacity crowd 😀 Will update you at full time, fingers crossed. Let’s hope it doesn’t go to a replay!

CABG update
So here goes - at The Royal Brompton with one last night before my triple CABG tomorrow - being woken up @ 6am before being taken down to surgery. Suddenly it’s all got a bit ‘real’ - oh well, what’s the worst that could happen………….

Any bikers had CABG? How long before back on the motorbike?
Hi everyone, I’m recovering from quadruple bypass, nearly 2 months . Was told 3 weeks ago I was ok to drive. Consultant said give it a few more weeks before being allowed to ride. What was your experience of getting back on the bike post surgery? I’m a newbie, only passed CBT end of March and was

Thanks for all the messages of support and the like. I’m really not a social media type person as I grew up in an age with humans interacting face to face and I’m hardwired for such communication but this sight is incredibly inspiring and the posts are very supportive - there’s nothing like interacting

Might have asked this before…..
So, I’m 56 yo now, and had an interesting experience about 7 years ago where I had two angiograms and a partial angioplasty, where I had a severe reaction to the contrast dye. I still had issues and as a result I had a CABG in 2016. Since then, I’ve had tablets because I’ve struggled with hills and

How skin cancer develops
Around 90% of skin cancers develop because unrepaired DNA damage to the skin cells caused by over-exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun and/or sunbeds triggers mutations that cause the cells to reproduce abnormally (grow out-of-control) and form tumours. As they grow and divide without

GVHD and skin dryness.
Unfortunately I have chronic
graft
versus host desiese of the
skin
and have controlled it with a steroid cream since my ASCT a year and a half ago. My only issue currently is that I find it hard to look after the skin on my hands and feet that are dry and chapped.

Gallbladder
Has anyone here had their gallbladder removed after also having had a cabg? How did you get on working out what to eat and what not to eat? I wasn't given a diet sheet, only advised to stick to a low fat diet with plenty fruit and veg. I'm finding I'm eating the sane things all the time! Fish and chicken

Banging my head against a brick wall
I am feeling so tired and breathless. Just had a telephone appointment, my year follow up after ablation with a nurse, I haven’t once seen or heard from a doctor apart from the day of ablation to sign consent. I have since ablation, had a CABG because of triple vessel disease all through my private health
