Piece of cake Ben,you got this O.K.But…….be aware of the after effects of the anastetic and the bypass machine as they may not tell you ( as in my case)I.e.foggy brain,poor memory /cognition.and you may end up with very low iron.I know this all sounds a bit gloom and doom but hopefully you might not have any of these problems.As for myself my procedure went great and I could not fault my nurses and surgeon I just feel like I fell in a “ big hole” after the op.with no real follow up help.But I’m getting on top of it now Ben and I know you will be a new man .Best wishes and welcome to the club🥴

Hello Ben

I am so happy that you are (or soon to be) discharged. I know how exicted you are to be home or headed that way. I'm sure that you plan to go to cardio rehab, I believe as soon as a couple of weeks. I had to wait longer, due to slow recovery. But it really helps you bounce back. So the worst is over & keep a positive mindset!

Ben,

best of luck! Focus on the finish line and not on the race. I had my ascending aorta replaced along my aortic valve with cow tissue. 4 weeks was the turning point for me, where every day got significantly better. I was back lifting weights at 5-6 weeks, light and hi rep. Started cycling at 7 weeks. 4 months out was riding 75 miles per week. Back to work at 8 weeks. You’ll do great!

What a relief to have the surgery behind you! I had my aortic valve and my ascending aorta replaced in June 2022 at Duke University Hospital with a great team headed up by Dr, Chen. Very easy recovery and I feel great! Walk often and as much as you can.

I'm certainly thinking about you today, and praying for successful surgery and an "easy" recovery. My recovery was an unmitigated nightmare experience, but here I am 2 1/2 years later, so hang in there Bud. It'll all work out!
