  SUGGESTION!!  They should communicate what equipment you need at home BEFORE you even go in for surgery so you can prepare your house ahead of time so your not screwed and have to rely on bothering someone to go get you these things!’

  I don't want to scare anyone and maybe my experience was different than yours. But I had uncontrolled pain after waking up from a triple bypass open heart surgery. Maybe it's because I also had a collapsed lung and an additional to the size of a cigar coming out of my chest. But I thought they did a sorry-ass job controlling my pain. It was so bad that suicide went through my mind and I have never thought of that in my life. I let them know all about it at my first post-op appointment. So if you have a high tolerance to pain medicine make sure they're aware of that and they treat you adequately

  I had the same op as the first gentleman in 2016 done by dr perchinsky and the treatment by him and the staff there was outstanding. I was home 6 days later and back to work six weeks after. We are so lucky to have this excellent heart centre in Victoria.

  2/16/23 I just went through this with a cabbage operation, the video was very right on, and it answered a lot of questions that went through my mind before and after the surgery. I am now at the Cardio stage and back to regular exercising at the gym, being careful what exercise sI do on my upper body, so I can get back to normal.

  I went 27 years on my first Ross Procedure, and I'm 6 days away from my next one.   The biggest issue was getting back to sleep after the heart/lung machine wrecked my bodily rhythms.  If you have this problem just get a clock that ticks next to your bedside .  Literally saved my life.
