Thanks a lot for your prayers and best wishes. Was a bit busy this last week and could not acknowledge this earlier. My mom too was in hospital this week so the week overall has been very tiring. My brother will be undergoing the bypass in the first week of April.

Hello mayka......oh my things must be very hectic for you with your mom and brother both getting ill simultaneously...I hope your mother is fine now and has no serious illness.....And about your brother ,there is nothing to worry about.Why only last week my husband's colleague who had gone on an official visit to a neighbouring place had a sudden chest pain and was admitted to hospital there.He was diagonised with a block,and they did bypass and put a stent and he is doing fine now...So there is nothing to worry about............Just take care to go to the best doctor in the area.......So good luck to your brother,and special prayers for your mother too........

I am sorry this happened. But with advanced technology I am sure your brother's going to recover soon. After surgery recovery needs time and he has to go through a strict life style change. This is also true for each of us. Your brother will be in my prayers. When is he scheduled for surgery? You all take care. You have to be very strong for the children and family. Tell me, of I could be of any help.

I can understand. some people would just not understand. My father still smokes after his heart attack and angioplasty! He knows the effect but still he does! What can be more farcical!

My brother has always refused to change his life style. This is the second attack he has got. The date/ time for the surgery is not yet fixed. That will be decided tomorrow. Just keep praying for him and his family.

I am so sorry to hear that, Mayka123. It sounds like a very serious surgery with potential risks. Luckily nowadays our science is at such a high level that surgeries like this are done every day and people are highly professional at doing them. On the bright side; he has the chance to take the surgery other than not surviving the heart attack at all. My thoughts will be with you, I wish you strenght and good fortune.

Mayka!Your brother will soon be alrught.Don't worry.My sisinlaw's husband had his first bypass when he was 37 and then he became better after the surgery.Only thing is he just wuld not fall under any discipline after that and he is now fifty seven with a bad heart, but still full of spirit and the same irregular habits.Your brothe rwill be alright and we will all pray that he gets some fear in his system and be careful after that /after the initial recuperation is over.Do not worry;you are lucky to have had an advanced warning and this is because everything is going to be fine.

Thanks a lot for your wishes. Since this is the first major surgery in the family we are a bit concerned. And my brother is not at all disciplined. It is difficult for us to regulate his eating habits. PS: Have replied to your PM.

Thanks a lot for your prayers and best wishes. The toughest part is convincing him to undergo the bypass. He is just now refusing to be operated upon.

Oh my!! I definitely will pray. If you could send me a private message with his full name and what city he lives in, I will also place him on a prayer chain. Both my father and mother-in-law lived long lives after their bypass surgeries so his prognosis is probably pretty good. Lots of hugs to you and prayers for brother.

Of course you have my prayers and best wishes. This surgery has become mostly retinue these days, there is so much advancement since my hubby had it 18 years ago. He had 5 blockages and since then has lived a happy healthy life. WE made many changes if diet and exercise and we lowered his stress level which i think helped the most.
