What would you do?

Zipper -

When your surgeon says that you CANNOT have a 3rd surgery, I'm thinking he is speaking for HIMSELF.

We have several members who have had 3 Heart Surgeries and some with 4 or 5.

It takes a SKILLED and EXPERIENCED Surgeon to deal with the added Scar Tissue, but it can be done by those who Know How to do it.

Other approaches are also viable options, such as a Thoracotomy through the Ribs instead of going through the sternum.

IMO, all your surgeon did was tell you about HIS limitations.

That said, the risks do increase with each surgery and that is something to discuss with any future surgeon.

way i translated my thoughts on post. Hopefully this 2nd surgery
