I recall someone posting about someone they know who is over forty years post bypass.

Just wondering does he follow a Mediterranean style diet?

No, the person is 40 years post bypass which would take your husband to 100! Wonder who will be sending out the telegrams then?

It's good to hear of someone else that is in the 20+ years class as I think it does offer hope for those just starting out on this journey. Hopefully he still has plenty in the tank for more birthdays.

Belated birthday greetings to your hubby, 80 years young!

And carry on celebrating the many extra years our surgeons and tablets give us!

I’ve just got a new lease of life from open heart surgery too.
