Can a CABG fail?
Hi, about 20 months ago I had a 4x CABG following a heart attack and stents that my body rejected. Life was good. 8 weeks later I was doing DIY and my energy levels were up and high. Around Christmas I started to get chest pains frequently and exercising got a lot harder. Walking up 2 flights of steps

What questions should I ask as a relative?
Your answers to my last post about what bypass surgery is all about were really helpful. One further question (I will try not to ask any more). As a relative of someone having the surgery, what questions should I be asking to find out what I need to know? This relates to his current condition; the course

What can I expect from bypass surgery?
My husband has just had a heart attack and been told that he needs bypass surgery. This has come completely out of the blue and we are all struggling to process it. He still looks fit and healthy but he plainly isn’t. I’m trying to find out what to expect from the surgery so that I can plan how to support

Need a Stent fitted
Hello everyone, I'm new to this community and I need some advice. Following a visit to a specialist I have been informed I need a stent fitted in my right leg. I previously had a stent fitted 6 years ago and I have also had bypass surgery. The specialist is refusing to sanction the operation to have

My struggle and I'm losing hope (long read)
I've considered seeing if I can undergo
gastric
bypass
or similar but I feel like my emotional connection to food is deeper than just shrinking my stomach. I just feel like I will always fail.

Bypass It Is Then
Had the angiogram on the 9th May and told of the need for some sort of intervention to address a blockage and other restrictions. Advised this would be discussed at the cardiology department meeting. Had the follow up appointment today and now know that I’m to have bypass surgery to left and right arteries

Coming home from hospital today!
I had my
Gastric
Bypass
and hernia repair on Sunday. During surgery I did not go into AF.... I’m now back on all my drugs but have to crush them for 6 weeks!! Heart seems to have withstood the surgery upheaval so I’m pleased... cautiously pleased!

Hot Weather and CABG
I'm 7 weeks out from CABG x3 and the heat is oddly really impacting my activity level. I'm finding that I absolutely must do any working out in the morning because once the temperature hits 80F, I become much more tired quickly and start really struggle. Even walking outside in the afternoons (mid-

Review
I had a CABG x 2 in August. After my 8 week checkup I was discharged by the cardiologist, (he is based 60 miles away).Should I now be under the care of the cardiology department at my local hospital or just my GP? Thanks

Recovery from PVI
Hi everyone I am 6 days post PVI and SVC ablation for paroxysmal AF and due to return to active work tomorrow. My cardiologist told me prior to the procedure that A few days off would see me back at work so I assumed recovered from it. I now realise that is just the start. My father had ablation 12

Partner emotions
Seems a long time ago but in reality my heart problem only became known to me when it was diagnosed first week in April. 2 months ago. I guess I’ve been pretty self absorbed, if that’s the right way of putting it, since then. Feelings of isolation waiting for CABG; frustration at “frail old man” feelings
