Just heard from the surgeon and no complications! He said the new heart is strong and Abba did well!!
He'll stay sedated and intubated in the Cardiac ICU overnight and they'll try to have him awake by some time tomorrow.
What a relief!!!!

Abba's in the OR. Surgery should take about 8 hours (they have to remove the LVAD first, and then do the transplant). Fingers crossed. 🤞🏽

We're down in pre-op! 🤞🏽

We're baaaaack. Two weeks to the day.
If all goes well, surgery will happen tomorrow. 🤞🏽

Hello !! This is my first post here.
Please take a look at my video about the LVAD lifestyle and what I am experiencing. I would really appreciate it!

Stand down. Twas a successful dry run.
Wasn't given much detail beyond "transplant heart not viable."
They'll reverse Abba's sedation and intubation in the AM, with discharge hopefully Saturday.
Good practice. Because it's gonna happen.
#UNOS #LVAD #HeartTransplant #BridgeToTransplant
They took him down for pre-op, said go home, and if all goes well they'll call me once the transplant is done. Minimum 8 hours and they probably won't get started for another hour or two.
So I'm gonna go home and have some prosecco.

Selfie of me with my dad, an older Black man with a great smile.
Aight we at the hospital, got a room, and already spoke with his transplant doctor.
We're still waiting for full confirmation on the donor side, but things are looking promising. 🫶🏽

FAM...
WE GOT THE CALL. 🤯
(Barring any complications, my dad will be undergoing heart transplant surgery this evening.)

• LVAD AND WEARABLES
#LVAD patients pose challenge for wearables due to absence of strictly pulsatile flow. On the other hand, early detection of VTs could prevent adverse events

Never had an MRI. More likely a CAT scan to make sure the #lvad is in the right place. He was sparkly after the procedure. #grok says he lost 30 pounds from golf & salads. That’s why his ankles & neck veins are good. I argued no weight loss could fix those ankles. He definitely has an #lvad

Is everyone not talking about Taco Tits #Trump new heart accessory? His #LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) that was shown under his coat. Makes sense why he was gone for days of late.
The reason Trump was away for a week - he must have been at Walter Reid having an LVAD implanted

Speculation that Derr Leader has a LVAD and cannot take a shower or bath?

Is any of this possible?
