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

WK 5 R3 and it’s been emotional
This last run was something I never thought I’d get to again, to cut a long story short I’ve had 11 cardiac stents, a number of heart attacks including arrests and a quad CABG. I was first diagnosed in my late 30 and my career was over in an instant. It’s been a long trial over many years but at last

Post CABG and airport scanners
I have titanium staples and a titanium plate in my chest where the surgeon pulled my sternum back together. Do these set-off airport security scanners? If they do, how do you explain this to the security officers?

Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM)
About 68% of diabetic patients suffer from heart attack and another 15% suffer from stroke. Those who have triple vessel disease {blocks in the left anterior artery (LAD), left circumflex artery (LCX) and right coronary artery (RCA)} may undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Such heart patients

5 month update... still a mixed bag! Cholesterol??
Hi All... well I'm still here which is a good thing! Things have continued to be very up and down unfortunately and the emotional effects really started to kick in a month or so back when the realisation of what happened, what could have happened, what might happen all started to overwhelm me a little

21 week in still getting numbness in face and down left leg (not where they removed vein) to top it off laid on my front to push Xmas tree into position and left rib popped pain is horrendous I sometimes think was it all worth it.

Vegetarianism- does it actually prevent relapse ?
I would ask people who had CABG or angioplasty long back, whether they followed veg diet or otherwise and did they find any difference ? Should I stop fish and lean meat altogether to prevent relapse of the heart disease(MI)?

RV Systolic dysfunction and Oxygen
My cardiologist sent me to a pulmonary specialist. I saw him yesterday, and when he heard that I take periodic breaks when walking we walked down the hall while he measured my blood oxygen. It turns out I need oxygen for exertion. Now I do testing to find out why. He is arranging for home oxygen.

Clicking sensation in Sternum post CABG
Hi All, I'm just over 4 weeks post triple bypass op. The recoverys going well. I'm walking 50 mins per day and the scars are healing nicely. I feel a kind of clicking sensation around the sternum area when I'm generally moving around (no accompanying pain though). Just wondered if anyone else has experienced

Couple of photos from Julie LVA treatment in Oxford done by Alex Ramsden and Dominic Furnis. xx
This was taken 2 days after my LVA surgery, I am now on day 5 and all good, feeling confident this has worked, I really hope so, I have my stocking on a toilet roll holder (not used I will add although I have put a plastic bag over the holder just in case, teehee) just to stretch it for when I put it

4 weeks post triple CABG
Hello everyone. Today I am 4 weeks post op. In some ways it feels like a lifetime ago and others just yesterday. Given everything my body has been through I cannot believe how well I feel and actually, at the risk of being too modest, how well I look. My BMI is 25 (something it hasn't been previously

14 days post cabg & AVR*
Hi all, First post since my pre op introduction. Admission to Bart's 31 Oct surgery following day. Went in expecting 3xcabg plus an aortic valve replacement. Met surgeon on evening of admission and he said one of the bypasses wasn't worth doing as although it was a total blockage it was very near to

Advice for my First Wide Excision
Hey everyone! I had a couple biopsies done a couple weeks ago, they both came back negative for melanoma *phew* but, they are both considered atypical. The one taken with the punch biopsy is all good and I won’t need to do anything with it at the moment, but the one taken with the shave biopsy is more
