I get the heart cathater on thursday this coming week , I guess that is to see if I have any other blockage or whatever. This morning they told me they would hospitalize me right after the heart cathetar and then schedule the operation about 3-4 days later.
For my heart cauterization, my wife dropped me off at 6:30am I went home at 1:30 in the afternoon.
The procedure takes maybe 30 minutes, the rest is getting you ready, basically shave groin in case the wrist isn’t an option, your balls will get basically shaved.
Then a 2-hour minimum post procedure laying bed to make sure no internal bleeding is happening.
You are not totally out, just mild anesthesia, you are fully aware of what’s going on around you.
