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 😀

CABG update
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 😀

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

CABG update
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

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

UTI’s post CABG
Hi all, my husband is 14 weeks post triple bypass. He’s recovered incredibly well however he has had persistent UTI’s since. He’s been on antibiotics several times but it doesn’t seem to be clearing up. He’s calling the doctor again today but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this? Thank

Getting back to fitness following CABG
Triple bypass 9 weeks ago. Up until a few months before surgery and when I knew there was a problem, I was training everyday at the gym doing CrossFit etc. At the moment I am walking everyday 3-5 miles each day but am now itching to do more. My breathing is good when walking but not when going upstairs

AF after eating
Had a triple bypass last Monday. Surgery went well. And bounced in and out of CICU and HDU, deposited on the ward and left with my swirling thoughts. My recovery was going well. On the Wednesday night, I treated myself to some ice cream for a desert on the hospital menu. Two spoons in, I felt a weird

My partner had quadruple bypass surgery on 29 June.He had an artery taken from his arm and one from his leg, his thigh About ten days ago he started getting bruising on his leg from his ankles to halfway up his calf The bruising is a bit tender. He's been to the nurse at our surgery and been told there
