Every experience is different. I am 70 yr diabetic, high BP, anemic, overweight male. I didn't study up on the surgery because I didn't want to know. Sometime knowledge brings fear with it and I didn't want to fear it. Surgery went well and I spent the customary 2 days in ICU. What shocked me was for the next three days I felt like a blob. Zero strength. I couldn't even take the top off a bottle of water. My cardio crew worked constantly to restore me to a functioning state. (Love you guys.) It took a couple months to regain my strength. It's been 9 months and I am 100% again. Best wishes to anyone having this procedure.
Hello...I am a student studying in 8th grade..and I am willing to become cardio surgeon in my future ahead...after watching this video I'm feeling that to be a doctor is not easy..and I really appreciate all the doctors of this hospital 👏🏽👏🏽 thank you for this informative video 🙏🏼
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to watch a video before my surgery. I went to the hospital because I had a small pain in my chest and a friend talked me into going. Before I knew it I was told I needed a bypass. I had no idea what to expect, or how long it would take to recover my strength back. The worst part was the drugs they use, which caused paranoia and fear of the nurses that were trying to help me. This reaction is common I've found out and should be discussed more. Because of Covid, no one was allowed to be with me, and I went through the experience alone. I'm ok now, after 6 months. I think these videos are very helpful and should be watched even by people with no heart disease. Like me, you never know what might come your way.
I’m 52 and had severe AS found coincidentally. 5 months later - much to the surprise of my cardiologist - I had a bypass and AV replacement. The recovery has been hell. I’m at 8 weeks post-op and would never want to go through this experience again but it will repeat as I was given a bovine valve which will eventually wear out. I don’t know how I’ll ever survive this experience a 2nd time down the road.
My grandma had an animals valve fitter years ago, I remeber my mum crying and not knowing what was going on but my grandma had an amazing long life after having it , tbey had to stop her heart so technically she was dead she said just like going to sleep when you’re having it.. but I am sk thankful that in my country it doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor you can get thus surgery and after care for free Thankyou to the NHS ♥️
I had mitral valve repair surgery in 2005 at the Rochester Mayo clinic. It has been quite a journey. And painful. I still feel different pains still, like the terrible pain from the pacemaker wire that was put in. My liver has different pain above it from the wire placement. I have been told that I am a princess and a pea, too sensitive. But no one was really understanding about all the pain.
While this. is informative it leaves out several things. I had severe heartburn for 18 months and test after test. Finally I had an angiogram and they discovered blockages. One week later , one year and 2 days ago, I had a quintuple bypass. The operation played havoc with my sugar which had been normal but after skyrocketed to 283. The catheter which is normal caused a urinary tract infection which became a major inconvenience. The surgery went great, surgeon ok'd me to leave in five days but my GP kept me for 8 due to the high WBC. In hindsight the surgery is the easiest part of the situation. The recovery is tough for about 3 weeks. I had to walk up a flight of stairs to my condo, difficult. After removal of the catheter everything went much easier. I was playing golf after 9 weeks, poorly. There was one spot above my ankle where Dr. Newman used a vein which was slow to heal but wound care took over and it worked out fine. The cough I developed was terrible and hurt like a b.....h. I was in Delray Hospital in Florida and the staff and doctors were great. I am 70, 69 at the time, and weigh 330 and never had a hiccup through the process. Know your own body and make them test if you don't feel right. I'm the one who pushed for the angiogram after 18 months. Be your own advocate. I'm single and got through it . Don't put it off and you'll be fine. Best of luck to anyone who might have to have bypass surgery someday
Your story has helped me greatly! I am in hospital now waiting to go to Toronto for my surgery. I have 3 stents in my 3 main arteries that arnt doing what they are supposed to. Also found this out through angiogram yesterday. I'm terrified and almost thinking of not doing it..But your story has helped a great deal. TY! And congrats on your new good health.
I had a triple bypass about 18 months ago. It was pre-emptive. No heart attack or stroke. I went home after 4 days in the hospital. Recovery was uneventful. The only thing that gave me any trouble was my chest skin. My entire chest felt like I had a severe sunburn. It was so raw. Any contact was excruciating. In the shower the water hitting my chest was very painful. My doctor had no idea what was happening. One nurse later told me that some prep procedures are very aggressive when it comes to removing chest hair. Otherwise, at 68 years old I feel relatively healthy. I go for walks almost every day.
Besides chest wall ,how about back ribs and lungs? What about neck and shoulders? 3 weeks after triple bypass my chest burns, back muscles, neck ,left arm . It's nearly impossible to sleep . I feel like I am on my own fir 3 weeks now. Canada ,such a great health care system? !!!!! I am being sarcastic. I can't even get free meals trough the care system They do help the drug addicts with that do .
@@halinabemben9932 I don't remember any other issues after the bypass. Sometimes the incision will suddenly itch severely. It may be unrelated, but since the bypass, my mouth is more sensitive to hot or spicy food. Maybe a coincidence?
Ohhhh great after watching this video i'm already seeing myself as a health personnel.......I'm a fisrt year student studying Nursing as specialty and wish to become a nurse in such developed hospital.......
My heart surgery was recently completed and improved and coincidered to me my new champion self.the previous life that I got to keep and now I see what I am here for
Hello, i have a question .I will be having open heart surgery in a month or so. I have a bucuspid aortic stenios. I dont know why i am so tired.Hopefully after surgery i wont be as tired.My name is Kathleen.
@@StephanieGrealis I hope your operation goes well, I have a 4th open heart surgery coming up in January, I was born with Tetralogy of Fallot and am having my pulmonary valve replaced for a second time. Last surgery was 22 years ago, I’m very nervous!
I was when I was in Labour, never had any surgery before but I needed an emergency c section when I had done fully awake, it was an amazing experience and it’s made me less scared about having surgery from now on although I think this kind of surgery is more of a major surgery even though a c section is still major I’d be more worried about having this done :)
I'm a heart patient that needs bypass but I am refusing it because no matter how much I beg I never get adequate pain control. NEVER!!! For this reason I'm looking for a way to turn my lights out at any point. Without that option I will never do bypass. Does anyone have a quick method that staff can't stop? Thanks. Please don't reply with "words of hope" or other BS.
Now, because of drug addicts and politicians, you need to learn to psych yourself into not feeling pain. I have two torn rotator cuffs, 8 bulging and herniated dices in my spine, knee replace cements and having mitral valve replacement in two weeks. You simply have to learn to live with it and find a focus. I look to my 2 grandchildren as a reason to keep going. I need to embarrass them. Wishing you strength and focus. Hold on. Life is worth living. I also had stage 4 cancer 23 years ago. I did it. you can.
My grandfather had a bypass surgery at the age of 71. He lived healthy life after that till the age of 88. He passed away due to kidney disease. Survival rate is high if u r below 80. Otherwise it is low. It is rare to have heart problems before 50 in India.
I had open heart surgery for a congenital defect when I was 22, the surgery went smoothly and the pain wasn’t that bad. They gave me morphine, but I was never in intense pain. This was back in 1986, things have advanced.
so far IVE seen no benifit to having this surgery theonly reason I did this is because of my daughter I will never let them do this to me again the older I get the more I hate doctors
I feel for you. They push people into surgeries because they use AI matching algorithms to determine how they can make money off your insurance. My parents were both railroaded into this. My mom passed away on the table due to their error. My dad who they said would need five bypasses ended up getting zero once they opened him up. It was a total sham. He was never the same after. They were old school and never got second opinions against my advice. If anyone ever tried to get me into surgery I'd be getting three opinions and would take my chances of dying before I did. In almost every one of these cases I know of from family and friends they use fear as part of the sell job. This goes for all of the other surgeries too like hip, knee, etc. My other friend was diagnosed with breast cancer and they said it was so urgent they literally wanted to do a double mastectomy the next day. She said no and ended up on a third opinion and got advanced localized treatment and still has her breasts sans one small divit almost unnoticeable. Another work friend was rushed into window maker surgery the same day. He died two months later from complications they caused. I'm so sorry someone pushed you into this.
I have a tumor in my right atrium… Not all open heart surgeries are for blockages. I did not find this video very helpful due to it being geared toward a specific open heart patient audience.
Before you get railroaded get a second and third opinion. They aren't telling people that they are subscribed to a service that matches what your insurance will pay to what procedures they can profit most off of. This is the biggest little secret in medicine today. Many of these are completely unnecessary and cause more harm than good. Not to say that many others are actually needed. Just saying to not fall for the rush sell job. Fear is part of how they close the deal. This is not just about heart, it's about all procedures. Trust my words. I am an insider and will be publishing a book about it upon my exit.

Is dis surgery 100 percent safe....in which can dead happen at the time of surgery...kindly let me know am very worried for my mom....
There are potential risks in ANY surgery. Not knowing the circumstances around your mom's condition we wouldn't comment on her surgery.
How is your mom doing?
I'm DVR problem 36age help me
What is the survival rate for bypass surgery? Does your facility use the Davinci robot for some bypass surgeries?
I am not aware of that robotic or any other robotic system used for CABG procedures
My grandfather had a bypass surgery at the age of 71. He lived healthy life after that till the age of 88. He passed away due to kidney disease.
Survival rate is high if u r below 80. Otherwise it is low. It is rare to have heart problems before 50 in India.
What happens if u have severe COPD,,
Emfasima?????
I would think you would need to consult a pulmonologist and a surgeon who specializes in lung surgery for a complete answer.
How long does a open heart surgery last?Is it a very long surgery or not ?
Around 3-6 hours
I want to knw onething after bypass surgery if the patient is having no b.p at all.. will she or him will die?? Please please rply me
Fatal without surgery
Very nice
God bless you dr
