A: A lot of open heart surgery patients can be home in 4 days! It depends significantly on the patient, how many grafts are needed, and any other health problems the patient may have. Patients that are diabetic, have lung problems or kidney problems may take a bit longer to recover just because of these complications. A lot of hospitals will have you come in before the surgery for some education - to explain the procedure itself, perform some laboratory and lung function tests, and to discuss some presurgery preparation they may want you to do in advance. The requirements have changed a lot - but I remember having to shampoo my hair 3 times with Iodine! They don''t make...

If you''re concerned about this 13-year-old person''s weight, talk to the cardiologist and see if he/she recommends a special diet or OK''s exercise. excess fat is the most likely cause WHY you got the heart operation, but some fat is in fact necessary in order to be healthy...

A: Having gone through two lots of open heart surgery (and I''m only just about to turn 21) I can honestly say that it is the best thing that I could have done. Without it I might not be here now writing this. It is more dangerous than the simpler operations (e.g. tonsilectomy etc.) but with all operations no matter how small and insignificant they may seem there is always a risk. During open heart surgery they stop your heart while they work and put you on a bypass machine. There is always the chance that your heart won''t start up again once you are taken off the bypass. It''s normal to be...

A: I''ve been able to watch a bypass surgery and a valve replacement. I see heart catheterizations and stenting daily. I think it is incredible and so interesting rather than boring. So amazing what can be done medically/surgically. i''ve seen a few cardiac surgeries. they all were boring and quite tedious, one of them lasted most of the day. Cardiac bypass. Kinda boring surgery to watch. after the anesthesiologist got the patient hooked up to the heart/lung machine, the other surgeons got the graft from the leg, the cardiac surgeon waltzed in like he thought he was God. He did the bypass in about 15minutes or so, ended with a flourish and left the other surgeons to close. I hope I never need...
