By-pass surgery requires atleast 7 months to recoup. Atleast 4 months no plane ride. If Moses is in Iowa, how is he gonna get back to Guyana?
Siggy, I would beg to differ. My father had quadruple bypass surgery about 30 years ago and is still going strong. He was back to work in six weeks after surgery. It was done at Sunny Brook.
If someone changes their lifestyle by proper diet, exercise and meditation or Yoga, it works very well. If Moses adopts changes, he should expect to live for a very long time. Politics is rough business and he is in a tough position right now. He should put his health first and his family is correct in advising him to consider their concerns.
There should be no shame if he steps aside, history and time will be the judge of his contribution to politics.
As for flying, 4 months seems high.
Here is what I found:
And here’s how soon after a cardiac procedure you are generally safe to fly:
- After uncomplicated elective (non-emergency) cardiac catheterization (angioplasty, with or without stent implants), patients can fly after a few days.
- If patients suffer from stable angina with infrequent attacks, they should be able to fly. It is safe to use nitroglycerin spray in a pressurized aircraft cabin.
- Patients with pacemakers implanted can fly after a few days, unless they have suffered a pneumothorax, in which case they should wait until two weeks after it has fully healed.*
- Those with ICDs (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators) can fly after a few days, with the added recommendation that they should not fly after the ICD has delivered a shock until the condition is considered stable again.*
- Those who have experienced a heart attack (myocardial infarction) can fly after two weeks.
- Those who have had coronary artery bypass grafts (open heart bypass surgery) can usually fly after about six weeks (longer if they have had pulmonary complications)
