Wish you all the best.
Thank you for sharing your recovery journey so far. Your videos are excellent summaries and I really appreciate watching them. Wishing you all the best in your continued recovery and look forward to more check-ins!
Thank you, San, for your kind words and good wishes 🙏. There's nothing pleasant about going through this surgery, so I decided to record and share my experience, hoping it might help someone else in the same situation or give them a better sense of what to expect. This way, my surgery journey has a bit more meaning. I have a few more videos that I've already scheduled for the upcoming weeks. Please watch and let me know what you think.
Thank you for sharing all of what you went thru. It has been a great help. They are planning on doing this same surgery on me later this summer after I am fully recovered from a surgery I had a few weeks ago on my hip due to an infection. So, 2024 is turning out to be quite a year for me, to say the least. I would appreciate everybody's prayers. Thanks, and may God bless all of you ......

Thank you my friend, I am doing everything to get better and have party again.🍻
Get well soon
Thank you🙏
It will get better i had mirtal valve replacement and caBg on dec 30th of 2022
Thank you, Terry, for letting me know from your experience that things will get better. Right now, I am having many issues, both physical and emotional, and I need to get over it.
Hello sir ! I am 29 years old and recently got diagnosed to have a congenital heart disease , double chamber right ventricle , and I will be having an open heart surgery very soon , but , I am facing so much of anxiety and panic attacks .
Hi Divya,
Thinking of heart surgery is scary, and it is normal to have anxiety attacks. I had that, too. But from my experience, I can tell it is not as bad as it looks.
Particularly if you know the surgery will save your life and give you a much better future, then all you need to do is accept it. It becomes much easier once you start accepting the fact that surgery only brings good to you.
The first 2,3 days can be hard, but you will be sleeping most of the day. From day three, you will make a lot of progress each day and start feeling a bit excited to return to normal. In terms of pain, you may not feel much pain because there are only a few nerve endings around the breastbone area, so having any pain there is very rare.
Makesure to have some domestic help for few weeks after surgery and take time off from work or school for two months, then you will be back to normal in no time. It is just a process now days, just like any other surgery. Only it is more graphical to make someone scared.
Keep a positive mind; you will go just well. Take care.
Hello, thanks for sharing your story, my surgery coming up too ( mitral regurgitation)😢
Hi Sandeep, I don't know how are you feeling about having this surgery, but initially I was scared. But after the surgery I can tell is that, medical science is very advanced and chances of having an excellent outcome is very high. Please keep trust, all will be good. I wish you have successful surgery and quick recovery. Take care.
@@baybongdiary thank you so much for reading my comment and replying, In these days hard to find so positive people like you sir , thank you so much for your videos 🙏🏼
@sandeeppanjeta7908 You just made my day; I truly appreciate it. 🙏
You may like to view this video I made, which may help to prepare. ruclips.net/video/pbK33XoDrqk/видео.html
I recently had bypass surgery back in April and I'm doing well but I have numbness in my left 2 fingers and nuckels and I also have this nasty cough since the surgery and I had discomfort but I'm doing okay but I have a ways to go
Nice to meet you Vance, good to know you are making progress. I am about to reach my three months mark and I am having a lot of numbness and pain around my incision and chest tube area, also my inner side of thigh and outside of lower leg are numb. I thought it will go away with time, but not seeing any improvement there. This is not easy surgery, and still a long way to go.
Report to your doctor prayers to all
Thanks for the sharing your video really help us .my mother in law is also had same operation 5 days before but now also she is in icu , one question is that why heart beat rate is high ?? What precautions we have to do?
Hi Diksha,
Increased heart rate and AFIB are common after heart surgery, and doctors should provide medicine to regulate it. I had medication for that for a month after surgery. I also stopped taking salt, tea, and coffee, which will increase heart rate. Also, ask her to drink plenty of water and walk when possible. I wish her a speedy recovery. I am very happy to know this video helped.
Can you please tell me that this pacemaker you put on your body is temporary or permanent, or you walk easily because of this pacemaker or without pacemaker
The one I had installed on my chest was not a pacemaker. It was to monitor heart function. I had it for two weeks after coming back to home. This device record heart function and send it to doctors. I had it only because there was some atrial fibrillation event occurred in the hospital, which is basically top chamber of the heart loose coordination with lower chamber, and top beats very fast.
Tomorrow, I'm having an open heart surgery called the Ross Procedure, which involves replacing both of my valves. My family is back in Pakistan, and I am an international student studying in Scotland. 😢
Zoya, I wish you all the best outcomes from your surgery tomorrow. It is good that you have Ross Procedure; that is what I wanted to have. However, there is an age limitation for which I was not qualified. Please make sure there will be someone with you the first week after coming home; you will need help walking, preparing food, or maybe getting in and out of bed. I wish you a very speedy recovery. All will be good; take care.
@@baybongdiary thank you ✨ .
Hi Zoya,
I hope everything went well and that you are having a swift recovery. Please let me know how it is going when you get a chance.
Dear my husband had recently underwent replacement of both valves mitral and tricuspid resetting in Pakistan. Mashallah his recovery is excellent.on second post op day he was sitting on chair talking as nothing happened. Mashallah.Wish you good luck
@@gucci9566 Thank you…. My surgery went well, although it was a 13-hour long procedure. They removed my aortic valve, which was too narrow, and replaced it with my own pulmonary valve. Then, they placed a donor valve in the pulmonary valve position, a procedure known as the Ross procedure. During the surgery, they discovered that my tricuspid valve was leaking, so they repaired that as well.
Alhamdulillah, everything went well, and I was discharged from the hospital after 10 days. Managing on my own without family was very challenging, but thankfully, my doctors said I’m recovering faster than others. My studies and job are on hold for now, but my recovery is my first priority.
Cabg done April 2022...
How are you doing now? Hope you are back to normal by now. Take care.
I’m 35 and have bicuspid valve, I’m hoping and praying I never have to have surgery because quite honestly I am terrified of even having a filling. I have read that some people never need surgery, is there any advice for those of us that are truly terrified.
I am hoping your valve will work for the rest of your life, and that is totally possible. Make sure you maintain a healthy lifestyle, so valves or arteries won't get calcified. Also, make sure to do tests often, as the doctor suggested. Noninvasive procedures are available to plant a new valve, and this technology is changing rapidly, so by 20/30 years, if you need to change also, it would be a much easier journey and no surgery at all, just a catheter through groin. Don't worry too much, enjoy life.
@@baybongdiary thank you very much for your lovely words, I hope you’re recovery is a speedy and healthy one.
Nice looking omelette 🙂
Thank you 😋
I had to wear what they called a life vest for three months after my open heart surgery. It was kinda of a pain to wear. 23/7. Could take it off for a hour a day to shower. 🚿.
Every hospital follows different methods, and at the hospital, I went to, I did not see anyone wearing a life vest. I can imagine how uncomfortable it was because I had an AFIB monitor for 20 days, and it was a bit uncomfortable, and I was not able to take a good shower during that time.
Valve or bypass ?
Valve, bypass, and aorta replacement, all three were done.
@baybongdiary hi , I came across your video while scrolling. I did the same surgery as you. Aortic valve , aorta repair and a bypass. I would like to ask do you have any daily fluid restrictions?? I'm in the mid 30s this year
@@zenny58 I don't have any fluid limits or restrictions. I asked the doctor in the hospital, and he said to drink what I do normally. When you had your surgery and how are you doing? Do you have any daily fluid restrictions? If yes, then do you know why?
@baybongdiary I'm now my 3rd week in after surgery. I have fluid restrictions of 1.2L per day. My ejection fraction is just at 27% due to heart faliure. If it increase overtime I can increase my fluid intake , I reckon max would go up to 2L for patient like myself.
@@zenny58 I understand that fluid may build up in the body otherwise. Make sure to follow what the doctor says; things should improve as you recover more. Take care.

You are welcome
Arotic valve regurgitation was ur issue?
Yes, I had aortic valve regurgitation
@@baybongdiary whats the durability of arotic valve repair? Did ur surgeon tell u this? Let me know pls. Will it be there for a lifetime and don't need any replacement?
@@wasimalam3425 I asked that question to my surgone, he could not give any certain answer but said this should last longer than biological valve (which is 10-15 years) was my plan to get. They only repair if they see a better outlook than replacing it.
I am happy with the repair because I don't need to take blood thinner every day or worry about replacing it in 10 years. Rest is all my luck, I guess. Hope this answers your question.
