Well, never thought I would be making this post after all the success I have had since Jan 2014. Thought I was having recurring reflux over the last couple of months, primarily due to the poor food intake associated with living in hospitals and rehab centers with my mom in law. Finally went to ER with chest discomfort Mar 30, thinking they would diagnose reflux. Family history warrented echo stress test... ABNORMAL... on to heart cathe... BLOCKAGES... unstint-able. Completed 5 way bypass surgery on Apr 3, and came home Apr 8.
The Good news... I am alive and healing well. Doc says I would not be recovering so well had I not lost almost 70 lbs. I had 100/90/70/50/50 % blockages. Doc says my heart has been starving for blood for sometime, probably before I started my weightloss. So with new bypasses I should be able to run a marathon now!
