Hiya from NE Scotland, Kimmy, welcome to the Hearties I too am a Lady Heartie (and with American ties but I live permanently here in Scotland) but so far no bypass (thought I might be having one last winter but 'luckily' it turned out to be 'just' an acute flare of my recurrent pericarditis).

Blimey, a double bypass at such a young age must have been a bit of a shocker to you and yours! I see from your profile page your bypass was brought on by hyperlipidaemia, something you write runs in your family but it still must have been a shock to need bypass.

Again, welcome to the forum!

Hi Sunnie2day yes went in for my annual physical and 24 hours later i was recovering from a double bypass. This was beyond a shocker. im still in disbelief but keeping positive through this process. Nice to meet you 😊
