I've had 2 stents put in my arteries this week. One of them was 80% blocked.
About 9 mos ago I had 2 other stents put in. This is the first time I've had
any problems with my heart. I am diabetic for 20yrs and on insulin pump; about 250 units per day.
Hi Ruby Davis,
Here is some information about stents that may help answer your question.
I also encourage you to speak with the cardiologist or surgeon who placed the stents. The physician will also have a better idea of your heart and what he/she thinks you may be able to handle.
Best of luck,

Hi Ruby,
In my opinion, one stent is too many. Stents are a patch job for a more serious problem...artery and vain blockage. Keep your circulatory system working properly and stents will not be necessary.
Yours for Great Health,
Mike Farris
