Update from my first post people. Firstly a massive thank you for all of your advice and kind words. I really am in a better place than before, daily exercise, plant based and wholefoods diet and an improving way of looking at things 😊I reeived a letter from hospital this morning about a pre op Echocardiogram, kind of hopefull that this means my surgery is imminent ? Has anyone had this before their surgery and roughly hiw long before ?

Hello :-)

Before my operation I had to go and have a few tests done sorry I cannot remember what they were all called but that was to do with making sure I would be ready and fit enough for the op

A sure sign you are getting nearer is they ask you to go and have a dental check up and you have to get the all clear from that it has a short sell by date on it though been dental so that really means you are getting closer :-)

Hope the op gets done soon as I know the waiting is the worst

Let us know how you get on :-) x

Hi Stevie mine was only a few days before my by pass op. But it was being classed as urgent surgery, so not sure my experience will be the same for you.
