Bypass scar and mammogram
Hi all sorry I have been missing in action. I seem to be back to living my life and in some ways it is hard to think that 7 months ago I had my bypass surgery, I have decided that 2018 is the year to start again. I have put on loads of weight, there are several reasons for this and I won't bore you just

A little update
So I reached the 6 month anniversary of my CABG this month and I was glad to see it. Followed shortly after by my 48th birthday, again something I was glad to see. But things are still not great, still dealing with ectopic beats, some days worse than others. The last couple of weeks if been getting occasional

Mum's triple heart bypass surgery
Hi all My Mum had a triple heart bypass 6 weeks ago tomorrow and is still getting a lot of pain in her chest. She was taken by ambulance yesterday from her doctors surgery as they though she might have had an angina attack, it turns out that she didn't and the pain could possibly be her chest healing

severely obese
My friend had undergone
gastric
bypass
surgery and was pleased with the results, so I decided to try it, too. The procedure reduces the size of the stomach, so patients feel full more quickly and eat less food. The surgery is expensive — and it’s risky in some cases.

Bariatric surgery refugee here...
So I attended my nearest bariatric specialist hospital and was given detailed information about the three procedures available -
gastric
band, sleeve surgery and
gastric
bypass
- and told about the lifestyle changes required with each as well as the attendant risks.

2 days on from Angiogram
So...I have had my Bisoprolol increased to 2.5mg after my Angiogram and being advised that I need a CABG. I don't know if I am tired due to the emotional impact of the news or the Bisoprolol as my resting heart rate drops to around 39bpm when sat relaxed. I spoke to the cardiologist about the concern

Life returns to 'new' normal
Its not quite three months since my triple CABG and tomorrow evening I'm off on my first long haul flight post op. I've checked and packed everything - drugs, compression socks, warm clothes and the general paraphernalia of a typical business trip - but with the slight difference in that I've packed

Has anyone here with liver PBC and additional liver diseases had a gastric bypass?
I wasn't diagnosed with PBC until my four week follow up after Roux-en-y

bypass
. I thought I was having
gastric
bypass
to loose weight to improve my diagnosis of NASH. Good news is I lost all the weight but bad news is I still have NASH and was later informed of the PBC:

Cholesterol Advisory Board in U.S. Tied to Statin Manufacturers
There's an old saying - 'the fish stinks from the head down'. Here's a link to an article which itself contains evidence supporting its finding - that those who are responsible for establishing the cholesterol guidelines in the United States are receiving compensation from statin manufacturers. https
