My story is on here somewhere I am The Longest Surviving Triple Heart Bypass Patient in the World.When confirmed was 45 years 161 but today however now extended to 47 years so there is hope for all you CABG patients.

Was talking to one of my teammates at Walking Football his Grandad now 93 had a quadruple 25 years ago and still survives Thank Goodness for the NHS.

A huge congratulations on your record! I only had my bypass 6 months ago and you are an inspiration to me. I know if I keep on being active, eat well and have a positive mind I should live a long and healthy life and I am so happy by that. A bypass is scary initially but the rewards are so many. Thank you for posting! 😀

👏👏congrats. My Mum had a triple bypass and lived until she was 93years old. She was such a positive person, nothing stopped her. After my HA, I was determined to be like my Mum. Unfortunately she has now passed, old age not heart related. Thank you for sharing your story with us. It's cheered me up.❤
