Bypass surgery? My stepfather had a CABG. I wondered (if no complications) How long a stay in hospital? Only ask because we are traveling out of state and I want to make sure i pack enough stuff. I travel with a newborn.
I'm in the middle of diagnostic determine bridging and I was assured that the hospital is usually about four days, but six weeks before most usual activities rather painful.
(PS: Can not the person who has always said laconically to see a cardiologist so realize the improbability of this time, so our forums exist!)
I had bypass surgery eight weeks ago and I stayed in hospital five days. I had no real complications, but I could not do much for about three weeks. I could not drive for 6 weeks. I am now going to rehab three days a week and has really helped me better faster. I highly recommend it, I feel fine now and doing better every day. I hope everything goes well for your father, tell him to do what its says and do not hurry. !!!!!!!!! Success
