Hi I had Trible by-pass in Jan o7 on a emergency, didn't even know I had heart problems. Dr. kept saying it was a pulled muscle. Anyway it saved my life. But I never got better kept complaining, to make a long story short I keep plugging up. 5 stints since my surgery. I haven't had a heart attact. I've did what I'm suspose to exerice eat right blah blah blah. I was back to work in less then 6 wks. Folk I keep my Dr. appointments take my meds including depression ones. Do all of this for my kids and husband but I am so sick and tired of all this crap. I want to feel good, and I don't.. I know that having to go back and have another stent reamed out is no big deal but I don't want to do it. I know I sound like a 2 year old. I am 61. LOL just darn sick and tired of all this crap. Lucky Lady now isn't that a nice name LOL

" It truly is awful what we have to go through in the aftermath of bypass surgery...I'm finding that doing what I'm supposed to do esp exercise is helping over time. It's been 9 months since the surgery. I felt exactly like you do but over time I got better. Venting is fine! "

" I did have a heart attack, but I have never completely recovered. Four stents later and I am looking at open heart surgery. I doo all the "right" things, too, but now my cholestrol has jumped to 260. I understand how you feel, I'm 56 and can't walk more than 1/2 a block w/o resting. Have COPD as well. All I can say is keep your head high and do what you feel like doing. Especially on this Mother's Day. Luv..becky "

" I had my bypass in October and I am sick and tired of being sick and tired as well. But in talking to other folks I have been told to expect it to take a year or longer to feel tip top. "
