When you are going in for surgery, you need to take your diet very seriously. Your diet before surgery is very important, since the types of foods you ingest within a certain time frame can impact many things. Not only can it make things "messier" when the anesthesia is applied, but a full stomach can lead to a number of different complications. You may require more anesthesia to go under successfully, and you may have a more violent reaction to the anesthesia after you wake up. This is why it is of the utmost importance that you watch your diet.

Because The bacteria from you being sick would affect your new organ. also it would be doubled bad because your other body parts (Around the new organ) would think that the new organ was trying to talk over you body. so they would attack the organ. but most people take medicine for that but they have to take it for the rest of there lives.

As always, recovery from any surgery depends on the person's overall health, other conditions, ability to ambulate (walk), lung function and ability to cough effectively in the 24 hours post-op, how well the person understands and can follow post-op instructions, and how much the person is motivated and desires to have a good outcome.

How long does a lumpectomy take?

You know yourself better than anyone, but listen to your doctor and use common sense. My surgery was done on a Friday morning. I relaxed all weekend and went back to work (a desk job) on Monday. I was anxious to continue as normal a life as possible. A long-term painkiller was administered during surgery and although when it comes to pain, I usually "tough it out" rather than take any kind of drugs, so I was surprised to find I did need to take some of the vicodan that my surgeon prescribed -- at least for a day or two.

I think it is important to keep up your everyday routine as much as you can within the limits of your doctor's orders as well as using your own common sense. It is surgery and you don't want to open up the wound by doing something stupid. Building that rock wall or cleaning out the attic can wait a while! It will give you something to look forward to while you relax and recover!

What are the risks of quadruple heart bypass surgery?

Any surgery is risky. Believe it or not there is a high rate of success in heart surgery. Specialists for the heart have come a long way and are very adept at what they do and deaths are at a very low percentage. The most important thing is the patient has faith in them. If a patient is going in for ANY surgery and has ANY questions they should speak to their doctor or try to schedule a meeting with the heart surgeon. The patient has a right to know what is going to happen before, during and after heart surgery. Since this is a 3rd open heart bypass then the patient would find it frightening, but more comfortable about it than having to go through it the first time. The mind is a wonderful thing, so a good outlook for heart surgery of any sort is a must. Learning relaxation exercises (slow breathing, small walks if the specialist OKs this.) Even if a person can't walk they can listen to soft music, close their eyes and invision a beautiful place they would like to be and they don't have to take one step to do that. Believing in the faith of your choice is one of the strongest things a person has going for them. The patient should allow short visits from family and friends so they are not constantly alone with their fears. I know many people who have heart surgery and it's added many, many years onto their lives. Good luck & God Bless Marcy
