How does it feel after a cardiac bypass surgery?

I'm assuming you are wondering how YOU might feel after bypass, not specifically "it"...whatever "it" is!
My pop had 7 bypasses, and he sd where they sawed the breastbone apart didnt hurt, the only thing that hurt was where they pulled the veins in the legs.
Make sure you follow ALL of the aftercare--ESP the raising up of the legs...And do all of the exercises and therapy.
Piece of cake, dad said. He never knew how bad he felt BEFORE surgery until he felt so much better AFTER surgery!

numb in some places, hurt in MANY others and overall like someone open your chest and punched your heart

A whole lot of pain

You might experience powerful emotions including depression following the procedure
