Preparing for Half Marathon Two Months After Open Heart Surgery
At this point, I made significant progress and wanted to take a little more challenge. This should give those planning surgery a sense of what to expect during recovery.

Hi, thanks for heart related videos that you uploaded, very helpful and informative. I am going to have a surgery in August and they will replace my ascending aorta (55mm), also I have bicuspid aortic valve but it works flawlessly for now so the surgeon decided to leave it as it is (I am 35 years old). God bless and greetings from beautiful Croatia!

Hi Tomislav, It is good that your valve is working perfectly. I had a similar surgery in which I replaced my ascending aorta while keeping my bicuspid valve. God bless, and I pray 🙏 you will enjoy the rest of your life without another surgery.

Are you on Strava? You deserve the Kudos!

Nice to hear back from you Sam. No, I never used Strava, but looks like a popular social fitness app. Will give a try. Thank you again 🙏.

when is the best time to start rehab post operation ?

[@baybongdiary]

I believe rehab should start around 'one and a half months' if the body permits and the doctor gives the clearance. It helps a lot starting early because you need this to regain flexibility and strength. I started in 28 days after surgery.

Sir how much distance we can run after aortic valve replacement?

[@baybongdiary]

I believe there are no limitations. I have seen a few people running marathons or doing cross-country. But only a few people will do that because if someone is not into this kind of sport, they won't start after a valve replacement. Actually, breeze walking is the best for cardiac health.
