Little over 48 Hours to go and my head is starting to go! Surgery scheduled for early on 16th May looking like an 8am start I hope my surgeon gets a good night's sleep on 15th and is not our partying, hehe! I am sure most feel on edge when it gets this close, I guess if you're not worried then...

Thanks Andy, I will just put my faith in my surgeon who is to perform this lengthy operation, in the hope that I pop out the otherside. My Cardiologist say's I should just focus on the recovery part and try not to over think the surgery as this is out of my control. Thanks

Thanks 3mm I will see if this is possible as I know some hospitals may have different rules regarding this but I will ask so my wife can be kept updated if its possible.

Hi All, Just an update on my surgery, which was postoned as it was due on April 4th 2024 however due to a bad lung infection I was suffering from at the time my Surgeon decided to called if off ujntil I was better. Its now scheduled for May 16th, 11 days and counting and like most people on...

thanks very much for the advice

UPDATE 2 weeks before surgery I developed a nasty respiratory infection, so the surgeon strongly recommended we cancel the op which was due to happen on 4th April. Its now looking like May for the surgery and I have been told I must be 100% infection 2 weeks out from the planned surgery. More...

Thank you all for your support and messages, its greatly appreciated. I am planning to update everyone as soon as I through the surgery, hopefully by the 5th or 6th April.

I have just over 3 weeks to go to a rather large OHS consisting of a triple CABG, with an Ascending Aorta replacement and a BAV being replaced with a mechanical valve and the surgeon is also doing a cardio ablation while he in there and possiblly stapling the atrial appendage. Bit of a shopping...

Hi Dano64 Whilst nothing in life is risk free I have the view that these guys are experts and I trust they are going to sort the issues and get me through it. I think like most people all I want to do is hear the monitors and beeping of machines in the ICU once the surgery is over to know "hey...

Yes my surgeon said the same and it was "matter of fact" as he said while I am sorting the other main issues we might as well try and sort the AFIB so it made sense. Thanks Jase

Hi Survived03 Thank you so much for your kind wishes and helpful advice, much appreciated. Best wishes Jase

Hi Gail Thanks for sharing your experience as its helpful to understand what other people have been through with their OHS and yours was a long one at 14hrs. I am not sure how long all the procedures will take that I am having done but I assume it wont be a quick one because 3 of the main...

Hi Chuck, thanks very much for the advice as its much appreciated and I will check with my cardiologist regarding my weight loss to ensure its not too much soon. How did you feel after the surgery as you had some big procedures done. I am just keeping focused at the moment to ensure I am as...

Thanks Mark Your reply and advice is very much appreciated. Best wishes Jase

Thanks Pellicle for taking the time to come back to me and I agree 100% that apart from getting physically and mentally ready if one can for the big day, its pretty much out of my control. With every surgery there is risk and I might feel a little easier if it was not so much that needed...
