Get treatment plans
Your coordinator finds clinics that match your needs and helps you choose. Your preferred clinics then send personalized treatment plans and quotes for you to compare.
Plan your trip
We set treatment dates that work for you and help arrange your flights and accommodation. If needed, we request a visa support letter from the clinic.
Visit the clinic
The clinic team performs your coronary bypass surgery on the agreed dates. We support you throughout your trip.
Recover at home
You can fly home after a stay of 2–6 weeks, with full recovery taking 3–6 months. Your coordinator stays in touch and helps arrange a follow-up if you need one.

Coronary bypass surgery recovery timeline: what to expect week by week
After an uncomplicated recovery, you can usually fly home after 14–42 days, with your surgeon’s approval based on your clinical course, lung and graft status, and travel type. After uncomplicated on-pump bypass through a breastbone incision, desk or light work may resume in 42–90 days, while physically demanding work often takes longer. Exercise progresses over 6–12 weeks, with supervised walking starting early and later activity increasing with your surgeon’s clearance. Full recovery of energy and symptom relief may take 3–6 months after uncomplicated surgery.
Days 0–2
Staff gradually reduce breathing-machine support, monitor your heart rhythm, manage pain, and care for chest drains. Get out of bed only with assistance.
Days 2–7 or longer
You’ll walk more, practice breathing exercises, and have your heart rhythm monitored while staff remove chest drains and temporary heart-rhythm wires. Protect your breastbone and do not lift.
Weeks 1–6
Increase walking, care for your wound, and begin cardiac rehabilitation as fatigue improves. Arrange a wound check 7–14 days after discharge. Fly home after 14–42 days with your surgeon’s approval.
Weeks 6–12
Your breastbone continues healing, and you can return to work and gradually increase exercise as recovery allows. Do strenuous activity only after your surgeon clears you.
When to contact your clinic: Contact your clinic for a fever of 100.4°F or higher, or for redness, swelling, or drainage around an incision. Seek emergency care for chest pain or shortness of breath.

United Kingdom

The actual male check-up itself was handled very well by everyone involved
The connection between Bookimed and the clinic was fairly seamless, and even the AI chat was okay. However, the system needs tightening up. Because I was 15 minutes late for my appointment, Bookimed’s platform mistakenly thought I hadn't attended the clinic at all, which created some unnecessary follow-up. That was the only issue. The actual male check-up itself was handled very well by everyone involved. From the surgeon to the general staff, the service was professional and attentive, and the clinic environment was good. I only had a blood test, but I imagine the clinic would handle other procedures well.

Stephen • Male Check-up
United Kingdom
Sep 13, 2026
I arrived early and was seen straight away. All my tests and scans for the male check-up were done professionally and quickly. Once completed, I went for a quick coffee and within an hour was seen by the consultant to run through all the results. He gave me recommendations for further consultations which I took, leading to an MRI and other future tests. Again, I got the results back straight away and had them explained to me. There were no real negatives. Everything was handled with professionalism and speed.
