Scar conscious.
Hi Everyone 👋, Just returning from Las Palmas Gran Canaria. 1st time away since my Bypass surgery. Smallish rooftop pool some couple of dozen sun beds 🛌 all facing the rectangular pool. Very serene atmosphere 👌 only ever one or two people taking a dip. So it was with some trepidation I entered

PET Scan results -total ischemic burden 4%
I just got the results of my PET Scan and it was "total ischemic burden 4%". My cardiologist said "we start to worry when it is 10%. It must be a false positive. If that was a true result you would be feeling like there was an elephant on your chest." He didn't go into any further explanations. So I

Triple Heart Bypass
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has replied to my post. Your responses have been very reassuring and I will certainly take on board all the advice I have been given. It seems that the doctors have to give a generalised timeline for recovery, whereas everyone is different and some may

Triple Heart Bypass
Hello, I am new to this community and am looking to find out if anyone has had the same symptoms as I am experiencing. I had a triple bypass 3 weeks ago and I am getting despondent because I don't feel that I will feel any better after 6 weeks which is when they said I could revert more back to normal

My Daughter has had Primary lymphedema for over 20years
Has anyone had liposuction, if you have lymphedema? A clinic in Oxford recommended that or bypass surgery.

Hubby feels rubbish 6 weeks after heart bypass
Hi everyone My hubby had a double bypass 6 weeks ago. He did very well initially, but it's 6 weeks now and he feels he's gone backwards. Still in pain with his chest, but now feeling more weak in his arms. Getting in and out of his chair is painful. He feels very unfit - top of the stairs and

Possible carotid artery problem discovered 3 weeks after double heart bypass surgery.
My hubby has been home for 2 weeks after his bypass surgery, and because of an ongoing vision problem, it's now suspected that his carotid artery also has blockage(s) and clots are happening. He's going to have an ultrasound urgently. Poor man, still very much recovering from surgery. Is this familiar

Post bypass surgery exercise
Hi guys So I'm 6 weeks post double bypass op. My cardio rehab team have referred me to the local gym. However, in hindsight I've decided it's not for me. I can't face going to the gym, come out in a sweat just thinking about it! I was just wondering do you have any recommendations for home fitness
