I had a double bypass three weeks ago. All the best to you and your dad! Lots of rest for him though.
STGxDante
Was gonna ask if he was a heart surgeon.
PhantomOfTheDopera
Happy for you amd upvoted

Had a triple earlier this year. I was terrified to the point of finding reasons to postpone. Good now but damn does it hurt to move after..

Congrats on making it through!

my dad had brain surgery. his sister saw him being taken back into the room and said "well, hes gone now". he is fine.
pelusita35
I’m so glad to hear it!!
thankyoumuch
My dad is a heart surgeon. It is extremely rare that someone dies under his knife, the only time it happens is when it is an emergency.
pelusita35
Heartening to hear, npi.
Loravyre
Thanks dad for doing the awesome . Sincerely hearts everywhere!
AGreaterDane
Yus! Hurray for dad! Feel better soon!
Luntfuzzle
Make sure he keeps a firm pillow or tightly rolled up towel to hug when he coughs or sneezes! My stepfather needed his or it would hurt bad.
tattoogigolo
That first sneeze was the worst!
PrincessPrettyPooty
5 months out and I still worry it's going to hurt
pelusita35
What about the first poop?
tattoogigolo
I got a bidet attachment for my toilet. Best. Thing. Ever!
pelusita35
I’d like a warmed seat. Like a Japanese toilet.

My 3 week old had open heart surgery on Monday. He’s doing great now. During surgery was the worst.

thatguysorry

I had 3 open heart surgeries before i turned 2. And 5 more spread out by age 18. The hard part is being strong, when family cant. Praying4U!
SamArt53
Damn! I hope he continues to do GREAT and gets to running around so much you have to tell him to take a chill break!
TonyStankIsAlright
I cant even imagine what it feels like to wait for that. Kudos to you for making a fighter!
fourstrokes
He’s a fighter. He’s ahead of schedule and we may get to go home in the next week. We were life flighted twice. Just saw the bill. ?
Hexxxxxxxxx
Mine had that two weeks before he died. Make sure he does exactly as the MD says. Mine didnt.
pelusita35
I’m so so sorry.
Hexxxxxxxxx
Its life. That was 10 years ago. It was rough but life goes on
pelusita35
Life can be like barbed wire up the arse sometimes, though.

Legitimate question: aren't all heart surgeries open heart?
twoguns1994
Stent placements, catheterization, etc are placed by putting a guide wire through a major artery like your femoral artery up to your heart
MotherOfDucks
There are also techniques for replacing heart valves through the groin. But they are newer and reserved for people who can’t have open heart
OfficerSquane
No. But my father was happier that they didn't have to go through his groin. Cheers!
Grumposstuff
They went through mine just to have a look before surgery. But that was 2001.
HenryLongfellowIII
They can put stents in (angioplasty) without going open heart. AFAIUI the open heart is better long run for serious blockages. 1/2
HenryLongfellowIII
2/2 but has more risks and much longer recovery so they tent to go for the less invasive procedure if possible.
shyasen
I did not know that.
