Most Heart Surgery is very invasive and can cause lots of shock to the body. On the other hand, if you think you are very much afraid of the possibility of pain after the operation, please speak to your anesthetist who may be able to make provisions for this. It depends on the nature of the operation that will determine on whether you will have a urinary catheter in place as well as injury drains.

In the days or weeks after the surgery, if you have followed the advice of your doctors or surgeon, you can hopefully expect that you are slowly getting more energy and are able to do more activities than before your operation. But it is important to remember that heart surgery is not a simple form of surgery and may take a long time to recover from it. In order to make a complete recovery, it is very important that you pay attention to the advice from the specialist and try to improve your mobility and independence each day.
