Has anybody on here had one or know of anyone who's had one?

My father was getting bad chest pains the other night so i took him into A&E & after doing a few tests they admitted him in.

Today we've been told that he need's a heart by-pass operation
The consultants are going to have a proper chat with us tomorrow about it.

My mother's been really ill & has only just come out of hospital after being in for a while

Life sucks so much at the moment

 

My dad had a quadruple heart bypass in 1999.

If you want to have a chat PM me

 

Routine to a certain exstent these days, home in 5 days as a rule

 

Mates dad had a triple back in 91 and he's still going strong today

 

I work with 2 people who have had; quad at age 62 and triple at age 42 by-passes.
They both said they didn't realise how bad they had been till they felt the improvement afterwards.
They both had very quick diagnosis and ops.
Both on daily tablets, but generally in good health.
They couldn't do heavy lifting for 6 months, gets a bit messy when your chest opens up apparently..

Good that it was spotted in time in your father.

 

My misses has worked cardiac wards and she days its a good success rate

 

my uncle had one, said he never felt better after. 10 years on he is fine and dandy.

 

i'm sure all will be ok with it AJ.

Cheer up mate,nothing to worry about.

 

Know 2 blokes,
one had a quad, the other a triple,
Both say they are fitter now than they had been the previous 20 years.

Hope all goes well AJ

 

My nan hadone 10 years ago, she was out within a week, and isstill going strong.... don't worry too much hun, they do them all thetime these days xx

 

Thanks for all the kind words people

So there's nothing to worry about then really?

Hope it all goes well, he's always been really strong & it's horrible seeing him like he is

 

Still a big op like, but as common as me sleazing on the receptionist at work (all the fucking time)

 

Jeezo, it never rain's but it pours! hope your mum and dad are all well soon AJ mate, I think these days a bypass op isnt half as bad as it was say 10years ago!

Only kidding

All the best with it
Rick

Good luck to your father with it mate, All the best and I'm 100% Sure he will be fine. I know of someone who has had one and is as good as new.

 

hope it all goes well AJ

 

Hi AJ,

My Grandad had a triple bypass last Wednesday as he was having bad pains in his chest. He is still in hospital and it is amazing how good the doctors and nurses are. Like you i was petrified on what was going to happen but the consultants will tell you all there is you need to know.

The operation is a very common nowadays they do around 2-3 a day. And as the consultants will tell you when your at the hospital when your father has it done he will feel a new man

Also looking at all the other posts, you have a lot of support and people who will listen to you if you need to chat at anytime. Good luck to your father as i know he'll be absolutely fine

 

Sorry to hear your mum & dad are unwell, Hope everything goes well

 

sorry to hear this mate, im sure all will be ok though

 

Sorry to hear this hun hope all goes well for him

 

Thanks for all the support & kind word's - it's appreciated

 

Not that bad these days mate, my family has a long history of heart problems in later life so seen a few of these but as the years go on they get better and quicker.
all the best though mate

 

Not good mate


Hope hes all OK mate. It not nice seing a member of the family ill

 

my old man had a triple bypass 7years ago and was ok after around 3months he was back walking, before the op he could only walk quarter of a mile and would be knackered after the op he was still goin after 4miles. although he's fucked now due to not stoppin the beer and fags.

i wouldn't try and worry to much
