My dad is 60 and going through tripple bypass surgery today. I'm at paoli hospital and were about 3 hours into the operation. I'm really scared

**Big_Jim** · 11-03-2010, 10:10 AM

Sorry to hear what your dad is going through man. I know its tough on the family, especially the "waiting game."

I'll keep you, and your father in my (no homo) thoughts today.

i_ride_fieroGT · 11-03-2010, 10:12 AM

Thanks Jim. It really means a lot to me. I dont know where I'd be without my dad.

Elliott18t · 11-03-2010, 10:12 AM

hope all goes well

I know what you mean. I almost lost my father 2x, to cancer. Your friends and family will be each others biggest support.

Scapegoat · 11-03-2010, 10:15 AM

fingers crossed for your pops. These things are like oil changes now though so i'm sure he'll be just fine

Heh, my dad found out about needing open heart surgery at Paoli, as well. He had an aortic aneurysm and needed a valve replacement, too. He ended up going to Penn for the surgery, but Paoli is a really great hospital.

Just remember that these heart surgeries have been so fine tuned, and hospitals are really doing wonderful things and are able to get patients to recover quickly! It always made me feel better knowing that heart surgeries are now so successful and normal procedures. Just hang in there a few more hours. My dad said the best feeling was waking up to his family being there, and I'll bet your dad is so happy you're there for him now.

I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers! Keep us posted.

Thanks guys. It really means a lot to me. My dad brother and grandma are really the only fasmily i have left. My mom and sister dont really want anything to do with me and my grandpa's have both passed away so i really hope he pulls thgrough. Its been a rough day for all of us.

Meeshell · 11-03-2010, 10:26 AM

I hope everything goes alright for your dad today! I'll keep him and your family in my thoughts today! Try to stay positive!

james_ls · 11-03-2010, 10:28 AM

Blessings be my man.

My dad had a heart attack last October and its absolutely petrifying (no matter what the relationship is like) to not know or have control over a situation.

angdefeo · 11-03-2010, 10:38 AM

i hope all goes well. these surgeries have become really routine and the doctor's will keep good care of your father. try to stay calm surgery goes long, it does not mean things are not going well. its just some dr's go faster or slower than others.

keep close to him after the surgery. he will need help doing some really basic stuff after the first few days. my poppa went through it twice and recovered. just try to stay calm and be close after the surgery is over.

I feel ya dude. Thankfuly this was one of those rare occasions that it was caught before it could become a heart attack. He has had at least 2 of the blockages for the past 10 years. And ion those 10 years he has gone through a divorce custody hearings Me speedking tickets blah blah blah. Hes a tough old bird. Im just really worried.

ndubz · 11-03-2010, 10:43 AM

God bless man. Im sure he'll be fine. just be strong and be there for him. My dad had a major operation on his colin a few years back and it saved his life. I know its difficult to see u father in that sort of state tho, kinda struck me just now as i was writing this. But remember once it is done he will be much better

i_ride_fieroGT · 11-03-2010, 11:03 AM

Were about 4 hours into the operation. Still no news from the doctor so im geussing no news is good news.

PrideNas · 11-03-2010, 11:39 AM

Prayers go out to you and yours. Be optimistic and stay strong. In the end you will prevail.

:-).

tranceporter · 11-03-2010, 11:54 AM

my uncle did this about 2 years ago. they really seem to have these procedures down. just make sure to help him out when he comes out, he's going to be in an assload of pain for the next few months as his ribs heal

**Got Insulin?** · 11-03-2010, 12:40 PM

I and mine are pulling for you and yours. Keep us posted.

i_ride_fieroGT · 11-03-2010, 12:48 PM

The Doc just came out. He made it. He said it went as well as a bypass surgery can go

jesse096 · 11-03-2010, 12:53 PM

Glad to hear your pops made it thru man! IDK where I'd be without my pops either, I know how you feel man...
