(9,538 posts)I had a triple bypass 6 years ago and I am as good as new. I never knew I had a heart issue until my physician saw a new blip on an EKG. I never had any symptoms. They did test and found I had one artery 100% blocked and two 80% blocked. Turns out I had corollaries (I had to find that out on my own because the Docs won't tell you about that. Once I mentioned it they confirmed) which means my body created a bunch of small arteries that went around the blockages. My cardiologist said, once I mentioned the corollaries, that I may or may not have an issue. Well, I'm a wildlife photographer and I thought that if I did have an issue I might be a mile back in the woods and it would be weeks before anyone found me. I decided to have the surgery and couple weeks after getting home I was back out with the camera. LOL... my Doctors were not pleased but both said my recovery was off the charts.
Good luck. All will be good.
