I have had some chest pain recently. After going to see the Dr, who sent me to Altrincham gen, I was then referred to Trafford Gen, who referred me to Manchester royal infirmary for catheter angiograph. It turns out I need a triple bypass :ohmy:.
So I am off the bike :sad:.

Sorry to hear that, my best wishes for a quick recovery

Bit of a shock. I dont drink, smoke, eat reasonably healthily cycle about 5000 miles a year.
ITS SO UNFAIR! lol.
My BIL was exactly the same, so far he's had 2x triple by-passes

Damn, that's brutal, sorry to hear!

As above glad they picked it up early - do you have any idea when they plan to do it?

:sad:So it is not necessarily the end of it after the op. Hope B.I.L is ok now.
He was told they last 15 years & almost to the week 15 years later they had to replace the original ones. But simple in & out 2 day recovery time I think it was

Perhaps they should install a zip.
It is now classed as a routine operation, easy for me to say when I'm not facing it & it's pointless me saying don't worry, but I will & no doubt you will also. He has other complications not associated with his heart, but I understand life can go back to normal once done.

No not yet.

Best wishes for the OP though, keep us informed. Hopefully you'll have a full recovery - as @Phaeton says it's a far more routine operation these days than it used to be and you should be back up on your feet within a few days. Just take things easy in the meantime!

I had one in 2012. I had no idea that I needed it. Some people get a keyhole procedure but mine was a full-on "split the sternum down the middle" jobby. It left my chest feeling a bit tender for some time but I was allowed back on my bike after six weeks. It felt like I'd been given a completely new set of legs.
Wishing you all the very best.:okay:
