   I had a Double Bypass in June 2006, and I am amazed at the difference it has made to my lifestyle. I would be delighted to talk to anyone, about this most amazing operation, it has changed my life completly. Big Smile  

 

       I cannot thank all the Hospital Staff enough, especially the Surgeon

Dr Dimmis at Broadgreen, Liverpool, UK.

Hi John, My husband had a triple bypass in October of this year, and has come through it so very well.  The recouperation time is hard though.  He has had some depression, did you have that also?  It is truly a miracle. Judy Michaels 11/30/2007

i had a triple bypass operation last May. im 29 years old and that made it more difficult to accept. i guess depression is normal at the early stages, i had it too, but as you move on and you realize that you are getting better and better, your mood changes too. 7 months after the operation and im feeling better than ever.of course it takes some effort because you change your lifestyle (stop eating fatty food, quit smoking etc) but the results worth it. excuse my english, im greek

Hi John

Im glad your doing so well after your amazing operation!  Im still up in the air about it .  Had it done 8 weeks ago, good day and bad.  Still having some pain in chest area.  Having some angina back, Im going for a stress test on Frid.  I found this site today. thought it would do me good to chat with someone that could understand what we go throuh. take care

Dear Liz, its a big thing we have had done? and patience seems to be hard. But it is a while before you get your confidence back, hope your test goes well, and the road to recovery is just about time & patience. John
