Hi guys, I would like know if there is any person who have been submitted to by pass surgery ou stent a long time ago, like for example , 10, 20, 30 years ago and is still alive.
Is there someone to has put in stent 20 yers ago and from there on have not put any more stent ?
I discovered 2 plagues in my LAD it is extremely discreet, im 34 yers old.
My brother had a by pass in 1995 at age 40 following his second HA, first was at 36. He is still alive and lives in Oz. He now has emphysema as he never gave up smoking. He recently had a work up for a lung procedure and was told his heart was fine.
Hey, what is his lifestyle? What does he eat? Any secret to life 26 years with bypass?
He follows no special diet or exercise programme, still drinks socially and only recently gave up smoking because of his lung problem. He has always been a slim/normal body weight and had a fairly physical job teaching HGV mechanics before retiring. Our father also had HA x 2 in his 30’s, so there is a herititary factor.
I had a single stent inserted 10 years ago because of severe proximal stenosis of the LAD. Since then I have taken bisoprolol, perindopril, rosuvastatin and aspirin each day. No further surgery needed and, as of this morning, still very much alive. Now aged 63.
Hey, what kind of foods, vitamins, exercises you do ?
I have an omnivore diet eating a broad range of foods and try to eat as much fruit and veg as possible. Red meat is eaten occasionally and fish several times a week. Almost everything is prepared fresh, sugar is avoided and I don’t eat sweets, chocolate or have sugary drinks. Alcohol about 14 units per week.Exercise during lockdown year has been running every second day about 5k with a longer 10k once in a while. Walking about 8k each other day. Before lockdown I had about 60 days skiing each year and curling once a week but that has been on hold.
I take a small supplement of magnesium each day and occasionally cod liver oil but otherwise no vitamins.
I hope this helps.
The right acitude to illness with your diet and lifestyle
My husband in his forties had a stent inserted into his left anterior descending coronary artery which was almost completely blocked over 10 years ago.
I am glad to say he's very much alive.
Most of us have some degree of plaque.
What is important is to make sure it doesn't get any worse or it's progression is slowed as much as possible.
That's a combination of not smoking, diet and lifestyle and taking your medication as advised.
My husband had a stent fitted in 2001, a present for his 59th birthday. He’s just gone off for his early morning walk with the dog. He has a regular yearly check, takes aspirin but v little else. I really envy himself I swallow my handfuls of pills and struggle up the stairs. But then I’ve only started my heart problems this year!
Hey, long life for him, what does he do to live 20 year with stent ? Which kinda foods, medicines, vitamins, sport he does ?
Walking the dog and my excellent cooking! And a pretty good genetic inheritance from grandparents who lived into their nineties.
Well, sorry, if he has a good genetic inheritance, he would not have needed to put in a stent.
