Is medication a lifelong affair after bypass surgery.?

I think medication becomes less and less gradually in case of persons improving steadily after bypass surgery. Ultimately no medication may be necessary after a particular point of time. Am I right?

Having stopped all your medication and decided not to take the advice of medical professionals, I am wondering what you believe caused your artery disease? Obviously medication can slow the progression, sometimes stop it, but not cure it. But if you have no medication and no knowledge of the cause for the disease, the outcome will be inevitable.

Probably a cultural thing. In the UK most people just say 'fine' when asked how they are feeling. It just generally means you feel ok.
