Bypass? Which bypass? NO! That's the wrong one!

Jan 07, 2011

Things have been up and down with my health and my business over the last few months.

My gastric bypass is scheduled for Feb 1st.  Took me 9 mo's from initial contact to get a surgery date.  Now it has to be postponed.  Turns out I need a coronary bypass first. 

I started with chest pains a few months ago and after many tests they found 5 blockages in 3 arteries ranging from 70 to 95% blocked.  I don't have a date for my coronary bypass yet but should have one in the next couple of weeks.

They tell me that the recovery from the heart surgery will be about 3 months so I'm hoping that I'll be able to just push my WLS out by about 4 to 6 mo's after the date of the heart surgery.  The last thing I want is to get put on a back burner at the bariatric clinic as a result of this.

Keeping my fingers crossed that things go smoothly all around.
