I've begged my cardiologist to let me join but he says my heart is to weak. It's been 9 months and I keep hoping my doctor will soon say yes.

I had CABGx2, 7 years ago, the thing I am concerned about is the durability of the saphenous vein graft. I read half of those fail by 10 years and 1/2 of the remainder are going bad. I know at least one was a vein. I am doing well so far. Has anyone any experience with this.
