Brogan how are you doing I know from when my husband got a very rear case of necrotizing fasciitis 2021 it was so hard to deal with everything that was going on have to make decisions for him as he was coma . Please talk about how you fill throughout all of whats gone on . I don't know if you felt the same with benji but we say we can't live with out them but I think it's thing like this we're you know you can't be with out them it's a strange fill to explain. Please remember to take care of you . Send you both all my love and support . Xxx
You breaking down in the car crying really got to me, so real I could feel it. Love you Benji and wishing you the speediest recovery so you can get out there travelling again 😊
I fell on your youtube channel last night whilst looking for reviews of business class long haul. I am coming back to London then Paris from Melbourne Australia, for an extended family home visit - 2 months, I Hope. As a newly retired Operating theatre nurse, specialising in open heart surgery for the last 34 years I'd like to 'Thank YOU' for this . I have never been thanked before. All the theatre nurses and allied staff are not seen by the patient and get forgotten in the thank you cards and boxes of chocolates etc. Your video has at last made me realise (reminded me) how much our work means to each and every person that crosses our days. I was a personal scrub nurse and with my Surgeon / Boss we operated on 6 people with open heart sugery a week, so how many lives we have changed is awe inspiring actually. So thank you for opening my eyes and heart and making me feel like the newly appointed theatre sister with her dreams of helping people all those years ago. I will follow your exciting journey for as long as you write. God Bless and keep you both healthy and happy. Melbourne Aus.
So so glad Benji's surgery went well and he's making a good recovery! This video brought back some incredibly raw emotions for me, my dad had open heart surgery a few years ago and watching you 'relief cry' after the phone call felt like watching myself!! It's a feeling like no other isn't it. Benji seems to have perked up so quickly, and you have been amazing with helping him too Brogan. So happy for you both xx
I have only just seen this video about Benji’s heart operation. Wow you covered everything so well & Brogan you had me to tears when you got so upset in the car. It’s such a worrying time when people are in hospital having ops & you can’t be there with them & waiting for them to come around so you can actually go & see them. You are both so loving & caring to one another. ❤❤I’m so pleased that all went well for Benji. I watched your wedding cruise & a couple of your other cruises which are so informative well done. ❤❤xx
That was so overwhelming to watch, can only imagine how you all felt during that time. Your supporters and followers are rooting for you Benji! What a chapter in your life you can move forward with. Lots of love to Brogan and your family and wishing you well in your continued recovery xx
I came here for the Disney vlogs but over time I've come to really care for you both as individuals and a couple. I haven't been around too long so only heard about Benji's health problems in your most recent Disney trip but the way you both handled it publicly is outstanding. I'm so glad Benji finally had the surgery and that he's doing well, a big relief for you both and for all of us of course! Can't imagine how hard it's been, sending so much love
I have just caught up with ur op. I am so pleased it all went well. It was such a traumatic time for you both. I had a tear when you went into hospital, I so felt for you. Then poor Brogan having to keep it together waiting for news. I cried with her when news came through it was all over and you were doing well. I know it is over a year ago but I’m so pleased to see you back to Normal. I love watching the pair of you. You are such a beautiful couple. Xxx
I’m sitting here with our 17 year old son who had his open heart surgery on March 28th. A big thank you to Benji for helping to explain the way he feels now that he’s at home! It is helpful to have that insight to maybe know how our son might be feeling as well. Sometimes it’s hard for a 17 year old to put into words how this experience has impacted him. Big hugs to you both!! Being their caretaker isn’t for the faint of heart either!❤
This was such a vulnerable watch - thank you Brogan and Benji for sharing this raw and real part of life. I’m so pleased you are now at home recovering - I have donated directly to the charity mentioned and hope it goes a long way in helping others in Benji’s position. Lots of love to you both xx
My husband is about to have a heart transplant. I can't tell you how much I needed this video. Thank you for the vulnerability & Benji's willingness to share. It helped so much
Firstly let me just say I’m so grateful that Benji is doing so well. My husband of 30 years was hospitalized during Covid 2021. He ended up having a stroke. I was home with Covid as well and wasn’t allowed to visit, obviously. Those were a dark 12 days. My best friend saved me by taking care of me best she could from a distance. My oldest son stepped in the parent role making decisions for my husband. Long story short it was a blessing for us both to learn who we can rely on when we can’t rely on each other, and to be grateful for every moment together. We’re both thriving now. He’s 99% recovered with just a small visual loss. Watching you share your journey Brogan was incredible. I cried when you broke down. I understand that feeling of both fear and relief. You also need to accept your positive role in Benji’s recovery. You’re so important to each other. That bond can be a miracle in times of true darkness. Sorry this is so long, what I’m really wanting to say is thank you for sharing pieces of your lives with us. Wishing you many more wonderful adventures together.
You’re both so brave for sharing this, it’s so inspirational! I can’t believe how well Benji looked so soon after the surgery and Brogan your love for Benji just shines through. I hope your recovery is going well ❤️
Brogan getting the good news in the car did me in, I ugly sobbed. I hope you are feeling so much better now Benji, hell of a thing to go through! Love you guys so much (not in a weird stalker way just a friend way :) that it hurt to see you hurt. Big hugs and lots of good healing xx
Glad Benji’s surgery went well. The fact that Benji can still crack a joke and stay kind and positive through all this - like wow! What an incredible person he is. Wishing him all the best.
I’m 20 years old and have watched your videos for a long time, when I was 17 I experienced my first heart episode and ended up in resus having my heart stopped twice. Three years on I still struggle for answers/diagnosis, and one of my biggest fears that truly impacts my day to day life is that I will need a surgery like this. Watching this video has truly helped these nerves as I can see the miracle of modern medicine in real life. You will never know how much this video will help people and all I can say is thankyou so much, I’ll pray for your continued recovery!
What an incredible guy Benji is. Huge life moment and so glad to hear all has gone well. Take it easy, Benji and heal well. Hope you are ok too Brogan. So hard to watch the person you love go through this xx
Brogan and Benji, you both are so amazingly brave and strong. Thank God that Benji’s surgery went well. Brogan, when you got the call in the car that Benji was out of surgery and doing well… your reaction, the overwhelming wave of relief coming over you that you couldn’t contain, was so pure. My husband and I cried along with you. You and Benji are in our prayers. Much love and respect
I’m so happy Benji’s surgery was a success. I’ve had 8 surgeries myself, and one was an open abdominal surgery, so I understand how hard everything is. The best advice I can give to Benji is to listen to your body. It can do more than you think it can, but if you feel like you can’t, don’t. And try another day. And cheers to Brogan for all that she does. This is a struggle for both of you, and as always, positive vibes your way. 💚
So glad to see Benji’s surgery went well and he is getting stronger day after day. Very brave of him to share his story and show the clips of him in hospital. hope this video is able to educate people.
Congratulations benj (and brogan) for getting through such a traumatic time! As a physiotherapist myself, I can appreciate what benj has been through as I have helped many recover from the same surgery. I know you’ve still got lots of recovering to do but you should be really proud of yourself! Hope your both doing well both physically and mentally. All the best and thank you for the video! Would be a great video for other patients to watch xx
Benji sending prayers and love to you and may you have a positive recovery. sending both of you love and positivity! stay strong and take it one day at a time. I am beyond happy you are okay and got through this surgery. Doctors and nurses are Angels. I have had four surgeries and it takes time to heal. sending my prayers to you both. 🙏
I so want to give the two of you a huge hug. The courage Benji has shown, along with yourself, is nothing short of remarkable. When you lost it in the car, well you were not alone. I'm still sniffling as I type this. That's a birthday you won't soon forget huh Brogan LOL. Happy belated by the way! I know it's so late. Thank goodness Benj is doing ok and making progress. I'm extending my heartfelt wishes for a continued full recovery. I appreciate you sharing all this. So proud of him and you too. Never far from my thoughts. Sending my love💌💌💌🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
So much love to you both - what a brave thing to document this difficult journey, but this video will help loads of people. I can relate to the feeling of having a loved one in surgery and not being able to do anything but wait (and hope the intrusive thoughts don't get too much). You both did so well and I'm glad Benji's on the mend
Glad Benji is feeling a lot better. I found this a really interesting watch, I work as a scrub nurse in a cardiac theatre so it was nice to see things from the other side x
You go Beni!!! Hang in there bud!!! I bet since this was posted a year ago, you’re doing good!! Blessings! Robert M BSN RN,, cardio vascular ICU. Nurse❤
Oh Brogan, I cried with relief along with you! So brave of you to share all of this and I hope benji keeps recovering at top speed. Sending you all lots of love xx
When you broke down from relief I started crying with you! I have been in a similar position to you, my now fiance had a heart attack at 26 and we didnt know what the future would hold, but the relief I felt when I found out he was going to be ok was the most emotional I've ever been in my life ❤️ I thought it was funny how you kept trying to correct him that he had done this by himself and he kept insisting that he couldn't do it without you as my fiance says the same thing. When you're a partnership everything you go through, you go through together, good or bad. I'm so glad Benji is doing so well, I hope the rest of his recovery goes smoothly. ❤
Oh my god, I burst into tears with you when you got the phone call, I just know exactly what you were going through. I’m so glad Benji is in the mend as you two are just so perfect together and the nicest people. Xx
My momma heart wanted to jump the pond and be with you🥰. It’s always hard to see our children hurt but then you see how proud you two made everyone. Healthy healing wishes from afar.
So happy the surgery was a success! My daughter had heart surgery as a teen so I feel your anxiety and worries. Now on to happily ever after for you two ! 💕 😊
That was a very raw watch…and it’s right that it was. The love between you is so beautiful to see, you’re such a genuine couple. A huge worry has been lifted but there’s still a long way to go before you’re both over this. You’re much loved by all the people on here, hold onto that for the days when progress feels slow. You’ve both got this ❤️
Like many others I’m sure, I wept along with you in the car when you got the good news. That’s just love and building your life with someone. There’s no words for it really. So glad Benj is on the mend! ❤
Those points of feeling so on edge and terrified and yet having to show strength and keep it together for the person you love most, and then the immense feeling of relief when all of the exhaustion from feeling it all and keeping going really hits - both of those clips really got to me and so perfectly showed how it feels from the perspective of the person left behind waiting. I cried with you and remembered the times when I’ve been that person for my husband when he had 2 big operations too. You are wonderful Brogan and you did and are doing an absolutely amazing job of looking after Benji, for everything, from the practical to the huge emotional support and cheerleader. You are so loving and it is crystal clear that you have been an absolute pillar of support for Benji. You are a lovely couple. ❤❤❤
I’m absolutely amazed (and not at the same time) at the strength you and Benji show in this video! How even through some of the toughest and darkest days you manage to make each other smile and show the love for each other❤. I’m soo happy and relieved to see Benji doing well and ugly cried at when you got the news. 😢Please take all the time to heal, recover and build your strength back up!❤ We’re grateful for everything you decide to share and will be the cheerleaders behind the screens to cheer you on.
Such a powerful video. You’ve got this Benji. I can speak for all of Brogan’s viewers when I say that you are just as important to us as a group and it’s so lovely how happy you make each other and it’s so kind of you to show the vulnerable parts from both sides as it gives us even more of an insight so thank you both for sharing. Best wishes and a speedy recovery! Xx
I recently started following you both during your wedding cruise and got fully invested. Your relationship and obvious love reminds me so much of me and my fiancé. So I’ve went back to watch older vlogs including this. It made me cry… a lot. At how brave Benji is and how scared but brave you were for him Brogan. Such a lovely couple with a great outlook on life. Never change! ❤
Very emotional. ❤ I’m full of admiration at how Benji and also you, coped with such a gruelling operation. My husband also had two rare tumours removed from his heart at Southampton a good few years ago. A four hour operation. I do know what you went through waiting for news. He was much older, and poor Benji is so young. He will recover much more quickly though at his age, a definite plus, and i do wish him and you the very best.
Glad benjis surgery went well. This was an emotional watch, bless you both. I’ve worked in cardiology for 22 years, interesting to watch from the patients perspective xxx
Wow Benji you are amazing and so brave , you are doing brilliantly . Brogan you are a Rock Star, how you held it together until the phone call , I just was crying with you and wanted to give you a hug and tell you everything is ok . Thank you for sharing this journey with your RUclips family we are all sending lots of love and support . Here’s to a full recovery Benji but take the time you need to get back to full health . Mickey and the world Of travel will be waiting for you to fulfil your next adventure Big hugs to you both xx 💕
I cried with you Brogan. So relieved. Takes me back to my gall bladder surgery. The pain is worse than childbirth and the feeling uncomfortable all the time for weeks on end after. Well done Benji, baby steps. Don't try to do too much too soon. Take care.
This made me cry, Brogan, your reaction when you heard Benji was ok 😭 Bless him, seeing the massive improvement just ten days later was incredible! Don’t rush it though Benji, take the time needed to heal and before you know it you’ll be back cruising the high seas together ❤️
Oh Benji we are so proud of you! There were two people I knew that were having open heart surgery. My other friend is in his late 70’s he did great as well and was home sooner than expected, he’s recovering well. Thank you for doing the videos, I was in constant prayers for you. Hang in there and do not get discouraged, sometimes healing is two step forward half step back, 4 forward and one back but the forward is more. Take the time to relax and heal, you got amazing support and having Brogan is a blessing. Together you’ll do this! Sending hugs, healing thoughts and love from NY, USA❤❤❤
That was quite a difficult watch! Crazy how emotionally attached you can feel to people you have never met but have spent the best part of 7 years watching. That was a very brave decision to vlog that & imagine an uncomfortable watch back for you all. Best of luck with your recovery. Xx
Wow, cried my way through that, especially when you found out Benji was out of surgery. Praying for you both as you navigate his healing. So much love to you both x
My 9 year old nephew had open heart surgery in Southampton when he was just 6 months old. The care provided by the surgeons, nurses and support teams are just amazing. All these years later the main scar has almost entirely faded but the one noticeable one is the chest drain! Around the same time my dad had a bypass op with full sternoctomy too and even though he was in his 60’s his scar has also faded too. The recovery is tough though but it sounds like Benji has an amazing support network around him and Bonnie to provide some (gentle) cuddles too. I hope the hospital took Benji’s hair colour in to account with pain meds. People with red hair often need much more anaesthesia than others! Thanks for the update Brogan. Your relief and outpouring of emotion in the car was totally normal and others that find themselves on a similar journey will benefit from you both being so frank about the whole journey.
Gosh I sobbed with you in your car Brogan. Having lived this with my mom it’s still so traumatic for me.. Benji did great! He looked like he was holding together although I’m sure he was very worried and scared but yea, you guys are one hell of a team ❤
Thank you for sharing this, this is so helpful for other people going through similar. Not going to lie, I shed a couple of tears watching this, you are both so brave to show your vulnerability and strength. Truly shows what a strong couple you both are! Sending lots of love xx
Sending you both all the best. Your positivity is infectious and continues to shine through even when dealing with the tough times. All the best and continued healing and success.
I’m so glad to see Benji doing well and that his operation was a success. It was very emotional to watch, can only imagine how you felt and what you were going through. Dr and surgeon’s are fantastic these days, the things they can do is s just mind blowing. It will take time for him to recover. Bet Bonnie finds it strange, that daddy can’t cuddle her or do they have quiet times together. Sending you lots of love and well wishes ❤
Wow, the honesty and openness of this video had me in tears. I always swear by the Spire hospitals. Our local one is wonderful and I’m so glad yours is too. Love and hugs to both of you and Brogan, always carry tissues. Xx❤❤❤
Well done Benji. Your experience during and after your operation brought back so many memories for me. I had open heart surgery a year last November and I was 73 years old then. At the time, Covid was prevalent, so visitors were not allowed at all. My dear wife of 50 years had passed away two years earlier, and I felt so scared and alone. But, like you, I found the medical staff from surgeons down to the tea lady were wonderful. My op lasted over 7 hours and before I came round, they had to rush me back into theatre for another hour and a half op, because I was bleeding from my sternum. I recognised all of those tubes coming out of your neck, uncomfortable weren't they? It felt good each day as they removed a tube here and there, 2 from my chest drains, monitor wires from my heart and lastly the tubes out of my neck. Recovery was painful and the drugs disorientated me. But I surprised the surgeons by my rapid recovery and they let me go home after 8 days instead of the expected 10 days. I had to wear that uncomfortable 'stab vest' 24/7 for 8 weeks. Like you, going and doing a first poo was a big milestone. What I hadn't reckoned on was that within one hour of coming round after my op, they got me out of bed to sit in an armchair to drink a cup of tea. Such a struggle, but that tea was like nectar. Anyway, take it easy and build up slowly. It can take 8 to 10 months to get back to normal fitness. Thanks for sharing your experience. I may share your vlog with my two sons, who never got to see me in hospital, although I did send them photos. Enjoy your life and stay positive.
He was doing really good in the days post surgery. Better than most would be. I’m in healthcare so I’ve seen plenty. To be off the heavy meds by day 5 is amazing. I can tell you the best way to put on compression socks was shown to me by a more seasoned nurse. Put them on mostly inside out, leave just enough to slide your foot in and then work them up from there. It helps a lot. Glad to see you are feeling better. Love watching your videos together.
Thank you for sharing your journey Benji. May you gain more strength every day. My heart went out to you Brogan when you got the news he was through the surgery - what a relief. Hugs and ♥️❤️♥️
Wishing Benji a very speedy recovery and Brogan you keep well also, this could not have been easy for you either, sending lots of good wishes to you both xxx
So pleased Benji is making good progress and I hope he continues to make great progress. Wishing you both well, I hope you are both enjoying healing hugs with Bonney xx
My son had open heart surgery when he was 2 it was the scariest time of my life.he’s 22 now and will need more surgery one day but for now thankfully he’s a healthy young man enjoying work and life. I’m so glad that everything is going well and wishing you both a long happy healthy life together xxxx
Sending you both lots of love!! I can’t begin to imagine how tough it’s been The love you both have for each other you can see is immeasurable and that love with be the strength during the recovery process. Way to go Benji you did it!! And hugs to you both. Hopefully see you again soon xx
You both are amazing! Thank God for bringing you through your surgery. Brogan you have a heart of gold. You were made for Benji and Benji for you. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Take your time Benji and my family and I will continue to pray for your continued good health and wonderful speedy recovery. 💕🙏🏾
Brogan & Benji! I am so glad Benji is on the mend. Although not on the same level my Fiancé had surgery just a few weeks ago and I really relate to how scary and intimidating that is. You two definitely are a great example of a once in a live love thanks for sharing your story with us. Continued healing to Benji.
Brogan, I’ve watched your videos for years, from meeting Benji to your holidays, to the house moves, to the proposal and now this…. Your love for each other shines so bright. I’m so glad you are able to share real raw footage like this and have the best support. A friend of mine had open heart surgery last year, it was unexpected but he went through the same recovery process, a year on and he is living life to the max again… works out, runs a business and has a renewed appreciation of life. I wish you both all the best ❤
I just found your channel recently with the P&O cruises. Bravo to you both! As a cardiac nurse for 20+ years what yall went through is so hard and traumatic. What’s beautiful to see is how you leaned into one another and not away. Bless your new marriage and bless you both with continued good health. Very brave and I’m sure helpful to others to share this ❤
So so glad benji is on the mend x your video made me cry , very emotional and overwhelming. Also take care of you brogan , you need love and support too x big hugs 🤗
Praying for Benji speedy recovery. You guys are amazing together and you guys got through this together and with your families and friends as well. That’s true love!
I have been in Benji's position, having the surgery and seeing you cry made me lose it, just thinking of my loved ones in your position, Brogan, all I wanted to do was give you the biggest hug. Benji going forward if you sleep on your side normally when you are comfortable I rightly recommend sqishmellow type pillows to keep your chest open when you sleep I use one now and my god it helps hugely even 7 years post-op, just giving yourself that extra support for your scar tissue is a big help, but it took me ages to find one I like, and for travel, I have a Disney cuddlez ones which fit lovely in my chest! Send you all my positive thoughts for a speedy recover and I hope your scare isn't too itchy!
So happy to see Benji is doing well! We’ve been thinking of you both and waiting for good news. A little bit better every day, Benji. You’ll get there! Sending love to you both!❤😘
Oh guys I cried with you Brogan when you were in the car. My family and I met you at Beauty and the beast in Bristol you were both so lovely. I’m so so pleased it all went well, and both your strength through this is inspirational x
I also came for Disney vlogs but quickly realized you both were so much more then just Disney! I love you both and am so glad Benji is on the road to recovery❤️❣️❤️
So glad you’re okay and you’ve done so well ❤ My son has had two open heart surgeries and this brought back memories of them, especially your relief when you’d got the call Brogan. That wait is horrendous. Sending you both love and hope you’re continuing to recover well Benji xx
So glad benji doing well. I had open heart surgery at the age of 4. I have 2 holes in my heart that couldn’t be repaid. I live a normal live with medication. I’m now 44. He’s in the best hands.
I’m so glad to see Benji came out the other side still with his sense of humour! Thanks for sharing the journey of Benji’s surgery and recovery with us it was so brave of you to let us see all the raw bits too…..especially when you heard his op went well and you were crying I just wanted to give you a hug❤ it was an emotional watch.But so glad his op all went well now just concentrate on getting him better and it will take time but he’ll get there.Lots of love to you both and just looking at the comments on here you know that we are all thinking of you xxxxx
Oh my goodness, so emotional to watch. Brought me right back to my husband's heart surgery at the spire. I can see the laps around the top floor,that Benji did 😊 . So glad that it is all moving forward for you all. Sending love and hugs to you both ❤
❤ this video had me in tears, the moment you broke down in the car, just got me. I know the feelings you've experienced due to my husband's own journey and actually the relief is the hardest bit. When someone is ill, you know what to do, meds, hospital, doctors ect but once it's all done, coming home, for us personally, was the hardest bit. It's like tada, you're fixed, goodbye! Now go be normal! 👍 Wish you a speedy recovery Benji 💟 Big love and light to you both!
This was such a vulnerable, inspirational watch. Your love for eachother really shines through. I can’t believe how quickly Benji progressed so soon after surgery, what a trooper! Brogan you were so strong too, watching you break down with relief got to me! So happy it went well and that you’re both taking it easy. Thank you for sharing 💛
What a very emotional video. Watching Brogan break down in car brought me to tears, waiting for a loved one to come out of surgery is the worst. Wishing Benji a speedy recovery. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Watched a little of this with my little 2 year old! She kept saying ‘Benji has poorly heart’. You guys are so brave ❤️ sending recovery vibes to you guys x
So glad to know that your surgery was a success Benji and very best wishes to you both in everything you do. You're both so brave and we all watch your vlogs. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow for you both Pam, Paul and James xxx
Benji from one cardiology appt - Boy so impressed, in ICU less than 24 hours and able to get out of bed and into your seat even before moving wards! Proud of you buddy! Brogan sending you the biggest hugs ever!
Firstly, I just wanted to say how incredibly brave of the both of you it was to document and share this process. I’m so glad everything went well and Benji is recovering nicely. Sending all my love and well wishes to you both ❤
So very glad you are get better. You both did an outstanding job pressing through. It’s not easy. Looking forward to future adventures. Hugs to you both.
Welcome back, everyone! Today's vlog is the before and after of Benji's surgery. This was a huge operation and so vulnerable of him to share it. He's making amazing progress each day and we're all so proud of him. ❤

ps. Home Vlog coming on Thursday!
Brogan how are you doing I know from when my husband got a very rear case of necrotizing fasciitis 2021 it was so hard to deal with everything that was going on have to make decisions for him as he was coma . Please talk about how you fill throughout all of whats gone on . I don't know if you felt the same with benji but we say we can't live with out them but I think it's thing like this we're you know you can't be with out them it's a strange fill to explain. Please remember to take care of you . Send you both all my love and support . Xxx
You breaking down in the car crying really got to me, so real I could feel it. Love you Benji and wishing you the speediest recovery so you can get out there travelling again 😊
You’ve done great mate. My Son had open heart surgery Couldn’t even see him after the op because of Covid. He’s doing great. Happy you are too.
I fell on your youtube channel last night whilst looking for reviews of business class long haul. I am coming back to London then Paris from Melbourne Australia, for an extended family home visit - 2 months, I Hope.
As a newly retired Operating theatre nurse, specialising in open heart surgery for the last 34 years I'd like to 'Thank YOU' for this . I have never been thanked before. All the theatre nurses and allied staff are not seen by the patient and get forgotten in the thank you cards and boxes of chocolates etc.
Your video has at last made me realise (reminded me) how much our work means to each and every person that crosses our days. I was a personal scrub nurse and with my Surgeon / Boss we operated on 6 people with open heart sugery a week, so how many lives we have changed is awe inspiring actually.
So thank you for opening my eyes and heart and making me feel like the newly appointed theatre sister with her dreams of helping people all those years ago. I will follow your exciting journey for as long as you write. God Bless and keep you both healthy and happy. Melbourne Aus.
So so glad Benji's surgery went well and he's making a good recovery! This video brought back some incredibly raw emotions for me, my dad had open heart surgery a few years ago and watching you 'relief cry' after the phone call felt like watching myself!! It's a feeling like no other isn't it. Benji seems to have perked up so quickly, and you have been amazing with helping him too Brogan. So happy for you both xx
I have only just seen this video about Benji’s heart operation. Wow you covered everything so well & Brogan you had me to tears when you got so upset in the car. It’s such a worrying time when people are in hospital having ops & you can’t be there with them & waiting for them to come around so you can actually go & see them. You are both so loving & caring to one another. ❤❤I’m so pleased that all went well for Benji. I watched your wedding cruise & a couple of your other cruises which are so informative well done. ❤❤xx
That was so overwhelming to watch, can only imagine how you all felt during that time. Your supporters and followers are rooting for you Benji! What a chapter in your life you can move forward with. Lots of love to Brogan and your family and wishing you well in your continued recovery xx
Thank you Nicole, that is so kind of you xx
I came here for the Disney vlogs but over time I've come to really care for you both as individuals and a couple. I haven't been around too long so only heard about Benji's health problems in your most recent Disney trip but the way you both handled it publicly is outstanding. I'm so glad Benji finally had the surgery and that he's doing well, a big relief for you both and for all of us of course! Can't imagine how hard it's been, sending so much love
I have just caught up with ur op. I am so pleased it all went well. It was such a traumatic time for you both. I had a tear when you went into hospital, I so felt for you. Then poor Brogan having to keep it together waiting for news. I cried with her when news came through it was all over and you were doing well. I know it is over a year ago but I’m so pleased to see you back to Normal.
I love watching the pair of you. You are such a beautiful couple. Xxx
I’m sitting here with our 17 year old son who had his open heart surgery on March 28th. A big thank you to Benji for helping to explain the way he feels now that he’s at home! It is helpful to have that insight to maybe know how our son might be feeling as well. Sometimes it’s hard for a 17 year old to put into words how this experience has impacted him. Big hugs to you both!! Being their caretaker isn’t for the faint of heart either!❤
so happy for you both glad Benji's okay take care of each other Liz xxxxxxxxx
God is a waymaker 🙏🤍speedy recovery for Benji
This was such a vulnerable watch - thank you Brogan and Benji for sharing this raw and real part of life. I’m so pleased you are now at home recovering - I have donated directly to the charity mentioned and hope it goes a long way in helping others in Benji’s position. Lots of love to you both xx
That is so kind of you Katy - thank you so so much xxx
Love that Benji still uses his incredible humour even in testing times ❤ what an inspiration, wishing him well in his recovery
I know, I was so surprised, he is a trooper!! xx
My husband is about to have a heart transplant. I can't tell you how much I needed this video. Thank you for the vulnerability & Benji's willingness to share. It helped so much
Tearing up for you Benji. Having watch post vids, it good to see you well.
What makes your Vids special is the love you share. Stay well!
Oh god I’ve just watched this. Mr Sangh is the same surgeon who did my dads heart surgery, he’s a great man. He saved my dads life too
Firstly let me just say I’m so grateful that Benji is doing so well. My husband of 30 years was hospitalized during Covid 2021. He ended up having a stroke. I was home with Covid as well and wasn’t allowed to visit, obviously. Those were a dark 12 days. My best friend saved me by taking care of me best she could from a distance. My oldest son stepped in the parent role making decisions for my husband. Long story short it was a blessing for us both to learn who we can rely on when we can’t rely on each other, and to be grateful for every moment together. We’re both thriving now. He’s 99% recovered with just a small visual loss. Watching you share your journey Brogan was incredible. I cried when you broke down. I understand that feeling of both fear and relief. You also need to accept your positive role in Benji’s recovery. You’re so important to each other. That bond can be a miracle in times of true darkness. Sorry this is so long, what I’m really wanting to say is thank you for sharing pieces of your lives with us. Wishing you many more wonderful adventures together.
❤❤❤
You’re both so brave for sharing this, it’s so inspirational! I can’t believe how well Benji looked so soon after the surgery and Brogan your love for Benji just shines through. I hope your recovery is going well ❤️
Thank you Poppy! xx
Brogan getting the good news in the car did me in, I ugly sobbed. I hope you are feeling so much better now Benji, hell of a thing to go through! Love you guys so much (not in a weird stalker way just a friend way :) that it hurt to see you hurt. Big hugs and lots of good healing xx
Thank you so so much, we really appreciate the love and support! xx
Glad Benji’s surgery went well. The fact that Benji can still crack a joke and stay kind and positive through all this - like wow! What an incredible person he is. Wishing him all the best.
I’m 20 years old and have watched your videos for a long time, when I was 17 I experienced my first heart episode and ended up in resus having my heart stopped twice. Three years on I still struggle for answers/diagnosis, and one of my biggest fears that truly impacts my day to day life is that I will need a surgery like this. Watching this video has truly helped these nerves as I can see the miracle of modern medicine in real life. You will never know how much this video will help people and all I can say is thankyou so much, I’ll pray for your continued recovery!
Omg Brogan you've got me crying 😭 I can't explain how happy I am for you both that it went so well!!! Sending all the healing vibes ❤
What an incredible guy Benji is. Huge life moment and so glad to hear all has gone well. Take it easy, Benji and heal well. Hope you are ok too Brogan. So hard to watch the person you love go through this xx
My dad had a open heart surgery in Southampton hospital in 2019. Their cardiac and intensive care team is absolutely incredible ❤️
Brogan and Benji, you both are so amazingly brave and strong. Thank God that Benji’s surgery went well. Brogan, when you got the call in the car that Benji was out of surgery and doing well… your reaction, the overwhelming wave of relief coming over you that you couldn’t contain, was so pure. My husband and I cried along with you. You and Benji are in our prayers. Much love and respect
You can see that he looks better and better each day that we see him post op. It’s reassuring for us as viewers even though we haven’t met
I’m so happy Benji’s surgery was a success. I’ve had 8 surgeries myself, and one was an open abdominal surgery, so I understand how hard everything is. The best advice I can give to Benji is to listen to your body. It can do more than you think it can, but if you feel like you can’t, don’t. And try another day.
And cheers to Brogan for all that she does. This is a struggle for both of you, and as always, positive vibes your way. 💚
So glad to see Benji’s surgery went well and he is getting stronger day after day. Very brave of him to share his story and show the clips of him in hospital. hope this video is able to educate people.
Congratulations benj (and brogan) for getting through such a traumatic time! As a physiotherapist myself, I can appreciate what benj has been through as I have helped many recover from the same surgery. I know you’ve still got lots of recovering to do but you should be really proud of yourself! Hope your both doing well both physically and mentally.
All the best and thank you for the video! Would be a great video for other patients to watch xx
Benji sending prayers and love to you and may you have a positive recovery. sending both of you love and positivity! stay strong and take it one day at a time. I am beyond happy you are okay and got through this surgery. Doctors and nurses are Angels. I have had four surgeries and it takes time to heal. sending my prayers to you both. 🙏
I so want to give the two of you a huge hug. The courage Benji has shown, along with yourself, is nothing short of remarkable. When you lost it in the car, well you were not alone. I'm still sniffling as I type this. That's a birthday you won't soon forget huh Brogan LOL. Happy belated by the way! I know it's so late. Thank goodness Benj is doing ok and making progress. I'm extending my heartfelt wishes for a continued full recovery. I appreciate you sharing all this. So proud of him and you too. Never far from my thoughts. Sending my love💌💌💌🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
So much love to you both - what a brave thing to document this difficult journey, but this video will help loads of people.
I can relate to the feeling of having a loved one in surgery and not being able to do anything but wait (and hope the intrusive thoughts don't get too much). You both did so well and I'm glad Benji's on the mend
I have just started watching your lovely journey ❤ not in order, then i came upon this video. You both are so couragous. Sending love from France. ❤
Glad Benji is feeling a lot better. I found this a really interesting watch, I work as a scrub nurse in a cardiac theatre so it was nice to see things from the other side x
You go Beni!!! Hang in there bud!!! I bet since this was posted a year ago, you’re doing good!! Blessings! Robert M BSN RN,, cardio vascular ICU. Nurse❤
Oh Brogan, I cried with relief along with you! So brave of you to share all of this and I hope benji keeps recovering at top speed. Sending you all lots of love xx
When you broke down from relief I started crying with you! I have been in a similar position to you, my now fiance had a heart attack at 26 and we didnt know what the future would hold, but the relief I felt when I found out he was going to be ok was the most emotional I've ever been in my life ❤️ I thought it was funny how you kept trying to correct him that he had done this by himself and he kept insisting that he couldn't do it without you as my fiance says the same thing. When you're a partnership everything you go through, you go through together, good or bad. I'm so glad Benji is doing so well, I hope the rest of his recovery goes smoothly. ❤
Oh my god, I burst into tears with you when you got the phone call, I just know exactly what you were going through. I’m so glad Benji is in the mend as you two are just so perfect together and the nicest people. Xx
My momma heart wanted to jump the pond and be with you🥰. It’s always hard to see our children hurt but then you see how proud you two made everyone. Healthy healing wishes from afar.
So happy the surgery was a success! My daughter had heart surgery as a teen so I feel your anxiety and worries. Now on to happily ever after for you two ! 💕 😊
That was a very raw watch…and it’s right that it was. The love between you is so beautiful to see, you’re such a genuine couple. A huge worry has been lifted but there’s still a long way to go before you’re both over this. You’re much loved by all the people on here, hold onto that for the days when progress feels slow. You’ve both got this ❤️
Like many others I’m sure, I wept along with you in the car when you got the good news. That’s just love and building your life with someone. There’s no words for it really. So glad Benj is on the mend! ❤
Oh gosh I don't know why I am crying but just sending all my love and positive thoughts to you both for Benjis recovery ❤️
Those points of feeling so on edge and terrified and yet having to show strength and keep it together for the person you love most, and then the immense feeling of relief when all of the exhaustion from feeling it all and keeping going really hits - both of those clips really got to me and so perfectly showed how it feels from the perspective of the person left behind waiting. I cried with you and remembered the times when I’ve been that person for my husband when he had 2 big operations too. You are wonderful Brogan and you did and are doing an absolutely amazing job of looking after Benji, for everything, from the practical to the huge emotional support and cheerleader. You are so loving and it is crystal clear that you have been an absolute pillar of support for Benji. You are a lovely couple. ❤❤❤
I’m absolutely amazed (and not at the same time) at the strength you and Benji show in this video! How even through some of the toughest and darkest days you manage to make each other smile and show the love for each other❤. I’m soo happy and relieved to see Benji doing well and ugly cried at when you got the news. 😢Please take all the time to heal, recover and build your strength back up!❤ We’re grateful for everything you decide to share and will be the cheerleaders behind the screens to cheer you on.
I’m so glad I watched the world cruise vlog first and I know he’s okay!! Honestly crying with you ❤
Such a powerful video. You’ve got this Benji. I can speak for all of Brogan’s viewers when I say that you are just as important to us as a group and it’s so lovely how happy you make each other and it’s so kind of you to show the vulnerable parts from both sides as it gives us even more of an insight so thank you both for sharing. Best wishes and a speedy recovery! Xx
I recently started following you both during your wedding cruise and got fully invested. Your relationship and obvious love reminds me so much of me and my fiancé. So I’ve went back to watch older vlogs including this. It made me cry… a lot. At how brave Benji is and how scared but brave you were for him Brogan. Such a lovely couple with a great outlook on life. Never change! ❤
Very emotional. ❤
I’m full of admiration at how Benji and also you, coped with such a gruelling operation. My husband also had two rare tumours removed from his heart at Southampton a good few years ago. A four hour operation. I do know what you went through waiting for news.
He was much older, and poor Benji is so young. He will recover much more quickly though at his age, a definite plus, and i do wish him and you the very best.
Glad benjis surgery went well. This was an emotional watch, bless you both. I’ve worked in cardiology for 22 years, interesting to watch from the patients perspective xxx
You’re both so brave - and also major couple goals. I love how despite all this you still have great humour xxx
Wow Benji you are amazing and so brave , you are doing brilliantly . Brogan you are a Rock Star, how you held it together until the phone call , I just was crying with you and wanted to give you a hug and tell you everything is ok .
Thank you for sharing this journey with your RUclips family we are all sending lots of love and support .
Here’s to a full recovery Benji but take the time you need to get back to full health . Mickey and the world
Of travel will be waiting for you to fulfil your next adventure
Big hugs to you both xx 💕
I cried with you Brogan. So relieved. Takes me back to my gall bladder surgery. The pain is worse than childbirth and the feeling uncomfortable all the time for weeks on end after. Well done Benji, baby steps. Don't try to do too much too soon. Take care.
This made me cry, Brogan, your reaction when you heard Benji was ok 😭
Bless him, seeing the massive improvement just ten days later was incredible! Don’t rush it though Benji, take the time needed to heal and before you know it you’ll be back cruising the high seas together ❤️
Oh Benji we are so proud of you! There were two people I knew that were having open heart surgery. My other friend is in his late 70’s he did great as well and was home sooner than expected, he’s recovering well. Thank you for doing the videos, I was in constant prayers for you. Hang in there and do not get discouraged, sometimes healing is two step forward half step back, 4 forward and one back but the forward is more. Take the time to relax and heal, you got amazing support and having Brogan is a blessing. Together you’ll do this! Sending hugs, healing thoughts and love from NY, USA❤❤❤
That was quite a difficult watch! Crazy how emotionally attached you can feel to people you have never met but have spent the best part of 7 years watching.
That was a very brave decision to vlog that & imagine an uncomfortable watch back for you all.
Best of luck with your recovery. Xx
Oh benji. You deserve everything good that happens to you. You are so obviously kind and sweet. Bless you and your family. Love you guys!!!!
Wow, cried my way through that, especially when you found out Benji was out of surgery. Praying for you both as you navigate his healing. So much love to you both x
My 9 year old nephew had open heart surgery in Southampton when he was just 6 months old. The care provided by the surgeons, nurses and support teams are just amazing.
All these years later the main scar has almost entirely faded but the one noticeable one is the chest drain!
Around the same time my dad had a bypass op with full sternoctomy too and even though he was in his 60’s his scar has also faded too. The recovery is tough though but it sounds like Benji has an amazing support network around him and Bonnie to provide some (gentle) cuddles too.
I hope the hospital took Benji’s hair colour in to account with pain meds. People with red hair often need much more anaesthesia than others!
Thanks for the update Brogan. Your relief and outpouring of emotion in the car was totally normal and others that find themselves on a similar journey will benefit from you both being so frank about the whole journey.
Gosh I sobbed with you in your car Brogan. Having lived this with my mom it’s still so traumatic for me.. Benji did great! He looked like he was holding together although I’m sure he was very worried and scared but yea, you guys are one hell of a team ❤
Thank you for sharing this, this is so helpful for other people going through similar. Not going to lie, I shed a couple of tears watching this, you are both so brave to show your vulnerability and strength. Truly shows what a strong couple you both are! Sending lots of love xx
Sending you both all the best. Your positivity is infectious and continues to shine through even when dealing with the tough times. All the best and continued healing and success.
I’m so glad to see Benji doing well and that his operation was a success. It was very emotional to watch, can only imagine how you felt and what you were going through. Dr and surgeon’s are fantastic these days, the things they can do is s just mind blowing. It will take time for him to recover. Bet Bonnie finds it strange, that daddy can’t cuddle her or do they have quiet times together. Sending you lots of love and well wishes ❤
I am so happy the surgery went well. Benji and Brogan you are both so brave and amazing. Praying that you have a speedy recovery.
Wow, the honesty and openness of this video had me in tears. I always swear by the Spire hospitals. Our local one is wonderful and I’m so glad yours is too. Love and hugs to both of you and Brogan, always carry tissues. Xx❤❤❤
Well done Benji. Your experience during and after your operation brought back so many memories for me.
I had open heart surgery a year last November and I was 73 years old then.
At the time, Covid was prevalent, so visitors were not allowed at all.
My dear wife of 50 years had passed away two years earlier, and I felt so scared and alone.
But, like you, I found the medical staff from surgeons down to the tea lady were wonderful.
My op lasted over 7 hours and before I came round, they had to rush me back into theatre for another hour and a half op, because I was bleeding from my sternum.
I recognised all of those tubes coming out of your neck, uncomfortable weren't they? It felt good each day as they removed a tube here and there, 2 from my chest drains, monitor wires from my heart and lastly the tubes out of my neck.
Recovery was painful and the drugs disorientated me.
But I surprised the surgeons by my rapid recovery and they let me go home after 8 days instead of the expected 10 days.
I had to wear that uncomfortable 'stab vest' 24/7 for 8 weeks.
Like you, going and doing a first poo was a big milestone.
What I hadn't reckoned on was that within one hour of coming round after my op, they got me out of bed to sit in an armchair to drink a cup of tea. Such a struggle, but that tea was like nectar.
Anyway, take it easy and build up slowly. It can take 8 to 10 months to get back to normal fitness.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I may share your vlog with my two sons, who never got to see me in hospital, although I did send them photos.
Enjoy your life and stay positive.
He was doing really good in the days post surgery. Better than most would be. I’m in healthcare so I’ve seen plenty. To be off the heavy meds by day 5 is amazing. I can tell you the best way to put on compression socks was shown to me by a more seasoned nurse. Put them on mostly inside out, leave just enough to slide your foot in and then work them up from there. It helps a lot. Glad to see you are feeling better. Love watching your videos together.
Thank you for sharing your journey Benji. May you gain more strength every day. My heart went out to you Brogan when you got the news he was through the surgery - what a relief. Hugs and ♥️❤️♥️
Wishing Benji a very speedy recovery and Brogan you keep well also, this could not have been easy for you either, sending lots of good wishes to you both xxx
Thank you Linda xx
So pleased Benji is making good progress and I hope he continues to make great progress. Wishing you both well, I hope you are both enjoying healing hugs with Bonney xx
My son had open heart surgery when he was 2 it was the scariest time of my life.he’s 22 now and will need more surgery one day but for now thankfully he’s a healthy young man enjoying work and life. I’m so glad that everything is going well and wishing you both a long happy healthy life together xxxx
Sending you both lots of love!! I can’t begin to imagine how tough it’s been The love you both have for each other you can see is immeasurable and that love with be the strength during the recovery process.
Way to go Benji you did it!! And hugs to you both. Hopefully see you again soon xx
You both are amazing! Thank God for bringing you through your surgery. Brogan you have a heart of gold. You were made for Benji and Benji for you. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Take your time Benji and my family and I will continue to pray for your continued good health and wonderful speedy recovery. 💕🙏🏾
Brogan & Benji! I am so glad Benji is on the mend. Although not on the same level my Fiancé had surgery just a few weeks ago and I really relate to how scary and intimidating that is. You two definitely are a great example of a once in a live love thanks for sharing your story with us. Continued healing to Benji.
Benji has balls of steel to go into this with such chill, good vibes. Inspiring! Wishing you a swift recovery ❤️🩹
Brogan, I’ve watched your videos for years, from meeting Benji to your holidays, to the house moves, to the proposal and now this…. Your love for each other shines so bright. I’m so glad you are able to share real raw footage like this and have the best support.
A friend of mine had open heart surgery last year, it was unexpected but he went through the same recovery process, a year on and he is living life to the max again… works out, runs a business and has a renewed appreciation of life.
I wish you both all the best ❤
I just found your channel recently with the P&O cruises. Bravo to you both! As a cardiac nurse for 20+ years what yall went through is so hard and traumatic. What’s beautiful to see is how you leaned into one another and not away. Bless your new marriage and bless you both with continued good health. Very brave and I’m sure helpful to others to share this ❤
So so glad benji is on the mend x your video made me cry , very emotional and overwhelming. Also take care of you brogan , you need love and support too x big hugs 🤗
Praying for Benji speedy recovery. You guys are amazing together and you guys got through this together and with your families and friends as well. That’s true love!
I have been in Benji's position, having the surgery and seeing you cry made me lose it, just thinking of my loved ones in your position, Brogan, all I wanted to do was give you the biggest hug.
Benji going forward if you sleep on your side normally when you are comfortable I rightly recommend sqishmellow type pillows to keep your chest open when you sleep I use one now and my god it helps hugely even 7 years post-op, just giving yourself that extra support for your scar tissue is a big help, but it took me ages to find one I like, and for travel, I have a Disney cuddlez ones which fit lovely in my chest! Send you all my positive thoughts for a speedy recover and I hope your scare isn't too itchy!
So happy to see Benji is doing well! We’ve been thinking of you both and waiting for good news. A little bit better every day, Benji. You’ll get there! Sending love to you both!❤😘
Oh guys I cried with you Brogan when you were in the car. My family and I met you at Beauty and the beast in Bristol you were both so lovely. I’m so so pleased it all went well, and both your strength through this is inspirational x
I also came for Disney vlogs but quickly realized you both were so much more then just Disney! I love you both and am so glad Benji is on the road to recovery❤️❣️❤️
So glad you’re okay and you’ve done so well ❤ My son has had two open heart surgeries and this brought back memories of them, especially your relief when you’d got the call Brogan. That wait is horrendous. Sending you both love and hope you’re continuing to recover well Benji xx
So glad benji doing well. I had open heart surgery at the age of 4. I have 2 holes in my heart that couldn’t be repaid. I live a normal live with medication. I’m now 44. He’s in the best hands.
I’m so glad to see Benji came out the other side still with his sense of humour! Thanks for sharing the journey of Benji’s surgery and recovery with us it was so brave of you to let us see all the raw bits too…..especially when you heard his op went well and you were crying I just wanted to give you a hug❤ it was an emotional watch.But so glad his op all went well now just concentrate on getting him better and it will take time but he’ll get there.Lots of love to you both and just looking at the comments on here you know that we are all thinking of you xxxxx
Oh my goodness, so emotional to watch. Brought me right back to my husband's heart surgery at the spire. I can see the laps around the top floor,that Benji did 😊 . So glad that it is all moving forward for you all. Sending love and hugs to you both ❤
❤ this video had me in tears, the moment you broke down in the car, just got me. I know the feelings you've experienced due to my husband's own journey and actually the relief is the hardest bit. When someone is ill, you know what to do, meds, hospital, doctors ect but once it's all done, coming home, for us personally, was the hardest bit. It's like tada, you're fixed, goodbye! Now go be normal! 👍
Wish you a speedy recovery Benji 💟
Big love and light to you both!
Bless you Benji,you're a ⭐, so glad that you are on the mend,and Brogan,I cried with you when you got the call❤,sending you both lots of cwtches.xx
This was such a vulnerable, inspirational watch. Your love for eachother really shines through. I can’t believe how quickly Benji progressed so soon after surgery, what a trooper! Brogan you were so strong too, watching you break down with relief got to me! So happy it went well and that you’re both taking it easy. Thank you for sharing 💛
What a very emotional video. Watching Brogan break down in car brought me to tears, waiting for a loved one to come out of surgery is the worst. Wishing Benji a speedy recovery. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Hi Brogan and Benji, I just absolutely love you so much , you are so amazing and speak so eloquently , Sending you lots and lots of love xxx
Watched a little of this with my little 2 year old! She kept saying ‘Benji has poorly heart’. You guys are so brave ❤️ sending recovery vibes to you guys x
What a roller coaster for both of you. Your love for each other shines so bright. Well done Benji for getting through it. Much love. Xxx
So glad to know that your surgery was a success Benji and very best wishes to you both in everything you do. You're both so brave and we all watch your vlogs. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow for you both Pam, Paul and James xxx
Not me crying in the car with you…..😢 I’m so happy Benji is doing well and your back home together where you belong. Sending love to you both!
Benji from one cardiology appt - Boy so impressed, in ICU less than 24 hours and able to get out of bed and into your seat even before moving wards! Proud of you buddy!
Brogan sending you the biggest hugs ever!
Firstly, I just wanted to say how incredibly brave of the both of you it was to document and share this process. I’m so glad everything went well and Benji is recovering nicely. Sending all my love and well wishes to you both ❤
So very glad you are get better. You both did an outstanding job pressing through. It’s not easy.
Looking forward to future adventures. Hugs to you both.
