2 years today, I had my double bypass op instead of triple. See my G P last week and he was very pleased with my recovery. I feel good and enjoy life with my family and grandchildren. Anyone just recovering or waiting for surgery, I wish he all the best.Wishing he all a very Happy Christmas and Happy New Year 2023

Thanks for all the advice and support I have been given

Hi Bishop1, thank you for your lovely uplifting post. I am due for a review with my GP after Xmas. Would you mind my asking did you have tests done to check your progress please? Many thanks Judi

Hi Heyjude31. I'm having an E C G after Christmas. I have blood tests every 3 months and I have to have urine tests with next bloods. He also examined my heart and lungs. Wishing you good luck. When is your appointment?. How long since bypass?

Wishing you a Very Happy Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year

Hello Bishop1, thank you for your lovely reply. I am seeing a Cardiologist in mid January. Not my surgeon, I have seen him 3 times but naturally he is very busy and everything was fine. I am going to see a Cardiologist privately so I can have a good review. I understand that this should be through the GP but I don’t seem to get much support. I am hoping that I can arrange all the various tests that you mention. If I need to come back to the GP I will do and hope for the best! My bypass was just over 14 months ago. Have a lovely Christmas and a very happy new year! Thank you again, Judi
