    edited December 2024 in Introduce Yourself
    Was away for about 30 months. Lost about 70#. Now I am back to check a slide and lose about 20 more. Was running but injured my achilles tendon. SInce I dance, I have to give up running - and hope it heals. A recent CABG survivor, I feel like one of the lucky ones. Just saying hi here. Any other CABG survivors? Dancers?

      What does CABG mean?

      Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery. I had a quad - 4 days after my regular 7 mile run. Surprised me and my doc.

      Similar to you, I had a 'surprise' heart op - x5 CABG about 2.5 years ago when I was 48. I had lost a stone when I came out, which put me towards the bottom of my ideal weight - bonus! So, I've concentrated on avoiding 'bad' fats and not worried about total calories. But recently I've noticed a bit of a gut developing, and that stone has come back, so I'm aiming to get it back down again as well as keeping to low-cholesterol healthy diet.

      2 Stents for me and I do not want any more.

      Some of the drugs give me a hard time so by dropping weight I hope to reduce the amount I have to take. The stents mean that I will never be off them completely but I want to drop the amount.
