My Cardiac Ablation | SO I HAD (minor) HEART SURGERY

[@robinhahnsopran]

Hi friends! I was clearly still a little loopy from the anaesthetic when I both filmed and edited this video 😂 Sorry it's kinda all over the place! A reminder to watch my first "What's Wrong With My Heart?" video first before coming back here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJvJiXaJjKyno9U

I'm sorry, you're not allowed to look this good after surgery! Also so glad you're feeling better and your heart has figured out how to Heart correctly.

[@robinhahnsopran]

Aww, thank you! Definitely hiding dirty hair in the braids and chapped lips in the red lipstick xD It's all about the ~illusion~

Hi - yeah Robin looks like one of those ham actresses in a soap opera... u know, just coming round in the hospital after a 20-hr surgery or 10-year coma yet looks impeccabile 😂

NGL, watching the outtakes where you're singing and guzzling water after hearing you weren't supposed to sing or guzzle water, for a split-second I was like Hoping this procedure gains you many more spoons! 💜

[@robinhahnsopran]

Ha! I know, right? I'm now allowed to drink a ton, thankfully, but not singing? Welp... all I can really promise is not singing full-out. I'm not sure I could stop the actual singing at all, ever. xD Thank yoooou!

I had a cardiac ablation here in France a few years ago, I was able to watch the whole procedure on the screens and chat with the surgeon and the nurses. Like you the procedure took 2 hours then I was back in my room ~ lying flat, and watching TV, for the rest of the day and overnight. By midday the following day, and after a few checks, I was (on my own) able to leave the hospital, take the train home and, like you, take it easy for 2-3 weeks. I am soooooo pleased I had it done ~ no more having to stop the car to let the 〰️➿〰️➿〰️ pass etc. Hope you are, like me, much improved with no more 〰️➿〰️➿〰️moments!!! Bless you for your happiness, your positivity and your beautiful amazing voice - thank you 👍❤️👍

Wow, that's a fantastic result! Mazel tov! May those PVCs never darken your doorstep again. I'm also a singer, who had an ablation for afib that was way out of control. I appreciate that your anesthesiologist was concerned for your vocal health! I had regular anesthesia and intubation for my ablation, but fortunately my throat was healed before my heart felt well enough to sing. I had a terrible experience where I was in an opera doing a run-thru before the performance, and for the first time in my life, I realized my afib was so severe that I couldn't just tough my way through the concert. I'd performed with broken ribs, migraines, strep throat, and once walking pneumonia, but I never met my match until afib. Even sitting down, I was gasping and passing out. Thank heck I had an understudy. But I had to be escorted out through the crowd waiting in the lobby to a car waiting to whisk me to the hospital. I never want to feel that way again! I was so sick with it that my heart was releasing massive amounts of diuretic hormone, and I literally lost over ten pounds that night just from peeing. Fortunately, that was my last hospital stay before they finally decided to have mercy and fix my heart. They say it usually takes about 50 burns to disrupt the pathways, but I needed 110. And then my femoral artery hemorrhaged when I got up (praise the nurses for saving my life!), and that earned me another 12 hours flat on my back. It was a hell of a rough night and I had a back spasm from hell for a week, but the payoff is that four years later I hardly ever get afib, and it goes away after a few seconds. It's made a profound difference in my life. I don't pass out and hit my head, I don't gasp and pant walking across the kitchen, my heart doesn't get triggered by loud music or drums, and I even got my driver's license back. I'm amazed that they have this technology, and that they didn't even have to open up my chest to do it. Sorry for the infodump, but it's so rare that I come across other people who've had ablations I get a little excited, lol!

Thank you so, so much for sharing this story! Absolutely amazing to hear that this procedure was so, so life-changing for you, even though you had that scary bleed!

[@kagitsune]

That is so cool that the doctors were able to pinpoint such a specific thing! Like you said, "winning the chronic illness lottery"! 🤩

[@kyndramb7050]

I've been wondering where the hell you've been. Glad you're back. I'm in the process of getting my heart tested again. I had Ventricular Septal Disorder when I was born, that didn't close, and after 3 months I wasn't gaining weight, and had heart surgery. That was 36 years ago. I am having a bunch of random issues (which is how I found your videos because I suspect EDS) and have a CT angio coming up that I'm not jazzed about. But glad people are finally taking me seriously after my primary care Dr. retired.

[@robinhahnsopran]

So, so glad people are taking you seriously now! So happy to hear it.

[@crimeny]

Okay this is absolutely spectacular, I'm so so so happy for you!! And thank you for talking about it and sharing it with us :3

[@robinhahnsopran]

Thank you! It's wild the ways in which I do feel different already.

[@LeBasfondMusic]

I am so grateful that you are home and doing well 🙏🏽 💕

[@sherryobar5750]

Thanks for the update, take care!

A big hug for you Robin!!...No one better than you, to make a reaction video and analyze this incredible singer who is leaving all the experts, literally with their jaws on the floor (Do you remember Jim Carrey's movie "The Mask"? well, just like that)...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"... In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"...Since then all this madness began on the internet, KZbin and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano...You can see in KZbin to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages...In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide... Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHW7ZHmeot6Bl8U

Wonderful! So glad to hear it was such a success. Amazing!

[@MusicalCows]

So happy for you! Thanks for sharing ✨

Small deep veins are a common thing with POTS!!! I was talking with one of my NPs about this and she was like “oh that’s so common…” I have one tech (at my hematologist’s office, I have defective blood in addition to bendy b**** disease and POTS ) and fellow cane user who is a benevolent witch and able to stick me

[@katfoster845]

Ooh another Zebra with tiny veins that cannot be cannulated. I wonder if it's a thing because my veins are also tiny and they hide. It took 3 nurses a total of 5 attempts (even with the machine to find my veins) to get a cannula in me last time. I'm still black and blue from it.

[@robinhahnsopran]

I feel you so much! Yes, I definitely think it's a zebra thing - as far as I understand it, our vein walls are literally made of connective tissue, which as we know we're not great at keeping in one place :P So sorry to hear about all that bruising!!
