I’ll be thinking about you today. I’m having my angiogram and loop recorder fitted on Tuesday so know how you’re feeling right now. Let us know how you get on and best wishes🙂

Hope you get seen today as planned and best of luck with it all 🤞Ps the waiting anxiety will ease considerably once angiogram underway the build up beforehand is worse part.

Let us know how you get on if you can and take care :-)

Just back, it was an easy process - but not the best outcome- hoping for a stent - getting a double bypass 😂

Hello :-)

So pleased the angiogram is done

I was hoping when I had mine if anything was needed they would say a stent and like you they came back and said a Triple Bypass but you know if that is what is needed from someone that is a wreck the op is not that bad at all

You may need time to process this information as well as you could possibly be feeling a little in shock but we are here to talk and try and help support you if you need it which I hope helps a little bit :-) x

Glad you got though it okay :) I too had similar hoping for a stent at most, now waiting for a triple bypass most disappointing 🤣

I’m not looking up the operation yet - I need to live in blissful ignorance for a while longer!!!!

yep its lovely 🤣 but i keep reminding myself that my mother had a triple bypass in 1987 at the age of 50 at that time you were in hospital for 6 weeks after and she survived for a further 29 years so pretty worth it :)
