Aches & Pains after Bypass
I don't know what everyone else is feeling, but I found that after having triple bypass surgery 6 months ago, I was sent home and sort of left to it. The surgeon saw me, once after 6 weeks, did some tests and said I was fine. My incision opened up which is another story. My cardiologist spoke to me

Hanging on one day at a time
In the past month alone my husband has had surgery for a kidney stone and a few days ago he had a
gastric
bypass
. Soon he will need to have surgery to replace a disc in his neck. His spinal cord is compressed and the longer he waits the more function he will lose in his hand and arm.

Medication after HA & CABGx4
After my CABG in Nov 2020, I had a HA in June due to blockage of bypass. Artery that was bypassed and blocked is 55-75% stenosis. On top of the statins and asperine as a result of the CABG, I am now also on isosorbide-5-mononitrate and ranolazine, but not on clopidogrel or other blood thinners. My

Waiting times for bypass surgery
Morning all, I had a heart attack in April and two stents fitted into my RCA. After subsequent stress MRI scan went to have another stent fitted into my D1 on Friday but unfortunately unsuccessful due to the cardiologist finding my LMS significantly diseased which was not picked up on the Angiogram,

Gastric bypass
Hi, I’m new, is there anyone here who has had a
gastric
bypass
and suffer from migraines? I did great with a few excedrine when I was younger, it would either get rid of it or take the edge off. Now my migraines are mor symptomatic and I’ve had my
gastric
bypass
so NSAIDS are a big no.

Hi everyone I am new here and I am so glad to have found this forum. I am 65 and never had a heart problem in my life until March this year. I was at work and had a heart attack. While in hospital I had another heart attack. I was moved to another hospital where I had an angiogram and angioplasty

Discharge at 6 week review
I had my CABG last September and was expecting a 12 month review. Having moved house in the interim, I phoned yesterday for an update only to be informed I was discharged at my 6 week review. Is this normal? I was hoping for some sort of check up, some reassurance, and general overview.
