I visit the heart hospital too for a CHD!

If I had to make a trip out there do you think it would be best to hit Abu Dhabi and take a day trip to Dubai or what you all did? I think I like the way Abu Dhabi looks. Less crowded and majestic. Y'all look like y'all had fun though. Keep it up. 🤞

Came to see if you’d dropped something new and realized I hadn’t seen this content. It’s been about 20 years since I’ve been to Dubai, and back then it wasn’t as built up as it is now and I didn’t find it to be much fun, so thanks for the new look. Way to treat your beautiful wife. I enjoyed watching her joy! Beautiful family and continue taking care of your soul mate. As a seasoned B🖤woman, this makes me proud! Keep it up young brother.

Great Car

I've never had open heart surgery, but I knew someone who did. She went to the same dialysis clinic as me, but I moved to one closer to home. Last I knew she was doing good, and trying to get on a kidney transplant list.

Perfect timing to find this video of your journey. In 2 weeks I get an aortic valve replaced here at Hartford Hospital Connecticut. I'm terrified but at age 76 - BUT, if I want to keep rock n rolling and enjoying my grandchildren and family - open heart surgery is a must. Like you my faith is hard wired and my wife is an angel. I intend to offer up the suffering and be joyful the Spirit guided our medical people to learn and perform these complicated surgeries. Peace young man. Thanks for this beautiful video.

If you fly BA in first, they have his and hers amenity kits.

Thank you for this video! I’m due to have open heart surgery in 10 days and it was great to finally find a video that explained it all! You’re the man!!!!!👍

What method of repair was used? Haart?

The view from the Skypool! Whoa!

Cool video!!! I cannot wait to try it in my Ninja Foodi!!!

Nice review! I think the new configuration on the 777-300 is much nicer. However, like AA the food and service on BA can be hit or miss. The first time I flew on BA in J was back in 1998 when they were amazing (and before they joined One World with AA) and I have not flown in coach on any flight over 4 hours since then and I use miles and cc points to make it happen, along with sacrifice in other areas. I have always thought AA was a bad influence on BA as they use to be such a superior hard & soft product. Anyway, new sub … you won me over with the pre-meal prayer! Peace, blessings, and traveling grace to you and your wife and may your audience continue to grow!

I appreciate your video. I’m 59 and I’m probably gonna have to have open-heart surgery within the next year. I’m scared to death like everybody.

Thank you for making this video. I have to experience this in a week, triple by-pass, and a couple other things. I'm first on a Monday as well. I will need to be there at 5 a.m., and I'm nervous to the point of not sleeping anticipating all of this. I'm grateful to you for this video. You are awesome. I'm much older than you, and have a few different things going on.

No, the real way to explore and enjoy Dubai is to take me with you guys the next time!! 😂!

Business class is great as it is..but you got a chance to get on the whale of a plane... Love it man.

Yo.. All I can say is I been waiting on part 2. This is amazing right here. This makes you want to get it together and take that 16 hour journey. Definitely definitely want to get here now. If its the only trip I take over to that side of the world this would be it. Good job man.

First week of October is my surgery. 39 years old, bicuspid aortic valve with moderate to severe regurgitation and ascending aortic aneurysm 4.9cm. I met many surgeons and i decided who it will be. He will send back to the company that makes the corcym haart annuloplasty rings my data from my CT coronary angiography and my transesophageal ultrasound so that they say the success rate of going for aortic valve repair. If surgeon gets the green light that's plan a. But that means full sternotomy. If not minimally invasive benthal with the corcym bicarbon mechanical valve, which needs low anticoagulation from day 1 and uou can even stop sintrom for 4-5 days safely and have another procedure (dental for instance). I just returned from the capital to the island where i stay by plane. Next week i travel there with wife cause months ago,before knowing or expecting any of this, we got into a program for in vitro fertilization. And after i give sperm in a couple of days i go into surgery. Which means my wife isn't and won't be there with me. My parents will. They are not ok. They are afraid and crying and miserable even though they don't want me to see. But i see it. I am in a shock still. I feel like all this is happening to another person and not me. Or that i will wake up and it was just s bad dream. I feel like i am out of my body, disassociated up to a level. I'm afraid of the aneurysm till the day of the surgery cones and for the afterwards. I feel like it will never be ok again. I'm afraid but primarily I'm shocked. A few days ago i was planning my year, job , master's degree, family and now....is this really happening to me?

The recipe is not in the description

Hopefully the drain tub removal isn’t as bad as a scrotum drain tube and a stomach feeding tube removal. Long story 😆

I’m in Massachusetts and looking for a great surgeon, would go to Cleveland clinic but would be difficult to find a place to stay

Do you have Marfan syndrome or any connective tissue?

How big was your ascending aortic aneurysm? Your insufficiency?

Where I had my surgery they gibe u toradal

I also have got to point for ohs for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 😊i need quality of life so i have made my mind now as suggested by cardiologist

Appreciate this video. Glad you're doing well now. You have an amazing support system with your wife, mother & I know God was looking out for you as well! Appreciate the comments about the breathing tube cuz I was kinda worried about that one but if I'm going to be half out of it that makes it seem a little more bearable. I have my surgery next week for a 5.5 aortic aneurysm so this video was helpful. Hope you're doing well now that it's probably been a year later! 🙂

As long as they keep the pain ivs coming it helps evething

I just had open heart surgery on the 29’th of August. At Brighams and women’s hospital in Boston!! Everything went Great!!

Hey mate, hope you're fully recovered now. Great video, I wish I had seen it before I had a quadruple bypass in July.

I'm going to have open heart surgery in a month. Wish me luck 🤞

I can relate so well. Had a aortic valve replacement done due to a aneurysm this past May 2024. Feeling great.

They took out my breathing tube in the operating room and I have no recollection of it.

Thank you for sharing. As I texted am cooking it in my instant pot

Sending prayers to you! God bless you.

Thank you for sharing,Im so glad everything worked out .😊

Brooooo.........This was an awesome trip...You kept this in the bag. I know hadn't talked in a while but I didn't expect to see this...I know your wife was beyond surprised and enjoyed this trip.I can't wait for part 2....(This is the life) lol

this place is great

Of course this was beautiful: On trips like this you do not tell the waiter to hold the garbage. I can’t add anything to your plan this is amazing. Trips like this does take a good amount of rest so you may fully enjoy the priceless breathtaking sights of the other side of the Atlantic has to offer. MAGNIFICO(S) job well done … waiting to see part ll

I have had 2 open-heart surgeries in the last almost 5 years. The first one came loose and they had to do it all over again. I did mine mostly by myself and was back at the home office and driving waaay too soon. I am curious how the med game has gone for you? I finally spent the last year trying different versions of the 3 I take until i feel I would say about 95% normal most of the time. Normal as in as close to I did before, energy and brain fog. Getting off the metoprolol -couch potato pill- has helped. You could do a video on that aspect because the healing is such a long process that includes after surgery. Welcome to the 'Zipper Club'!.

Thanks man Going through same in 30 days Freaking out (mind fuc) ✌🏼🌮🌮

I had two valves replaced 7/2023 and I walked the first hour, they took my drainage tubes out the same day, I was discharged the 4th day, returned to my job the 3rd week and hit the gym the first month, I was 52

Very helpful me have the same heart operation still recovering but GOD BLESS us in this situation

Great video😊

I had open heart surgery 6 days ago. I am home now and this video was wonderful to watch. It was validating to see what I've already been through and gives me hope for my first week home recovering. My aortic valve had to be replaced due to an undiscovered congenital defect that left me with a valve that was way too small accommodate my body. I was originally scheduled for TAVR, but after meeting with the cardiac surgeon, I decided t go with science over sales and pipe dream. The doctors said I'm just too young for TAVR (65) and there aren't any people walking around the U.S.with 15 year old TAVRs. I have a bio valve (bovine), which should do me well for another 15-ish years. Then I can have the TAVR when I'm age appropriate and there's more information and improvements.

did you feel anything in your chest from your ohs?

I went thru the same :) I so want to do a video as well, my children didn’t want to do it with me..thank you for your video ❤

Overall impressions about the food ?

Thanks man, I know I am going to have to have valve and aneurysm done, I think, (EGC wasn't great from last week). this makes me a bit better about things, but to be honest the great unknown is scaring me so much, but wife and I go and see the surgeon in 2 days to know what is coming ....

Great video. This type of media will help those who are nervous about their own heat journey. I had a quintuple bypass in 2021 during COVID-19. I was alone in the hospital for five days. The surgery was major, but I feel the best I've felt in years.

Thank you for the great video 🤜 Love from London xxx
