6 bypasses
by trevacamden, Jan 04, 2009 06:08PM
4 months ago I had 3 stints inserted due to blockage. My body rejected these, I also have active Rheumatoid Arthrites. 2 1/2 months I had 6 bypasses and I am doing well. Do you know of anyone that has had a problem such as mine or as many as 6 bypasses?

My friend's father-in-law had eight bypasses and he is doing well with his heart. The surgeons like to do as many as are needed during the open heart surgery. Did you have the bypasses through open heart surgery?

Yes I did have open heart surgery. They took veins out of each leg..24 inch incisions on each leg. I am doing well, but have to go back for more test, the doctor thinks I have blocked arteries in my neck. I am coronary artery disease (inherited from my dad and my mom). My main problem is having rheumatoid arthritis, I need gall bladder surgery now and the doctors says no surgery (unless life or death situation) before next year..2010.
