Holy shit! He lost an entire chin!
Excess fluid retention due to heart disease?
That post-surgery look says, ‘I just fought a battle, and I’m still here.’ Your dad’s giving off serious warrior vibes.
My daddy (74) had double bypass of critical blockages as well as an aortic value replacement. We are in absolute awe of how much fluid has already came off of him! I suspect this will be a new lease on life for him.
Damn it cured his eyesight too! Modern medicine is a marvel!
Omg.. fuckers stole his glasses. Seriously.. Best wishes to your dad!
Hope he’s doing swell
Your dad looks like a good guy
I had a triple bypass when I was 42. The next morning I felt better than I had for 10 years. I quit having edema immediately. That was 20 years ago and I am only now starting to have some problems again. The work everyone involved in my case did saved my life and gave me 20 years of healthy life. Congrats to you and once again thanks to everyone who worked to save and improve my life. Not to get divisive but if we can let health care professionals work unobstructed they can do some amazing things.
10 ways to lose weight fast. #4 will shock you!
Lasix does some crazy stuff! My husband was on it when he was in hospital for afib, and he dropped almost 30lbs in water weight.
I lost my son 3 years ago to congestive heart failure, he was only 29. The water retention was so bad he could barely move at the end. It broke my heart, spirit and soul forever.
I’m happy you’re father is doing so much better now. Cherish every minute.
He looks great!
I remember seeing my dad after his pacemaker and he was pink! I’d gotten so used to him being pale it was a shock!
2 days post-surgery and he has bright eyes and a happy face! hope he’s feeling well 💕
Fluid retention
He looks less puffy. I’m guessing Afib? My dad had it, and CHF too. He lived 35 more years. Thank you, Doctor Jay Requarth of CAMC.
Hope he recovers soon 🙏🏻
It fixed his eyes too?!
God bless that man and hope for many more trouble free miles on that engine. He is back and with a second chance at life.
I’m sorry to hear about your father, but I’m glad he’s doing better. My father had a heart attack that required a triple bypass when he came back home he was 45 pounds lighter and an inch and a half shorter.
This is great! I love your dad
My dad had open heart surgery a while back for a different issue (an aneurism? I dont recall the medical term for what he went through) and I remember seeing him after the surgery, he looked like a ghost of himself. It’s crazy what your body can go through. I’m glad your dad is doing so much better now, and here is to celebrating many more years of life!
That’s awesome!🩷 I hope he has a speedy/super easy recovery!
Wow bet he feels bit better now. Best wishes to you all.
Did he just piss all his blood out?
Wow what a change! The water retention easing up must feel like a relief.
I hope he has a smooth and speedy recovery!
may he recover well! ive been through it with my papaw and we’ve had many extra years that we wouldnt have had with him now.
Oh wow, all the best to your dad for a speedy recovery! 🤍
Looking better already, bless him! Hopes he makes a speedy recovery.
Man that’s one huggable dad you’ve got there
Oatmeal!!!
I can concur the drastic weight loss.
Happened to my dad too. He aged 20 years as well. Scary stuff. Wishing your dad the best ♥️
Edema is a motherfucker.
I’m glad your dad is doing better!
Likely a heart valve replacement or repair, helping better forward flow treating the symptoms of CHF (i.e fluid retention)
Wtf I need me a new heart too
A similar thing happened with my grandpa before he got his pacemaker
