My father had quadruple bypass surgery in 2006 that seemed to work quite well. Unfortunately, he has not followed his dietary and exercise advice at all. He eats a huge amount of sugary sweet foods throughout the day, sometimes coffee with sugar 3 times a day, cake donuts or cookies with that, ice cream after lunch and dinner, sundaes, cokes, carmel macchiatos, and a fair amount of high carb white breads. To top it all off, he refuses to walk or do any sort of exercise and just lays around all day and takes naps. He's in his mid 70's. How long can these 6 year old grafts last?? He takes quite a few pills per day but refuses to let his Dr. do bloodwork to adjust meds. Additionally, he has very bad lungs (asthma or copd) and about 10% of his kidney use.
Thanks
