Default RE: Bypass surgery

I had mine heart attack (cardiac infarction) at age 46; was a very avid water skier (4 to 5 days a week for 15 years), snow skied in the winter, and golfed year round. My blood pressure stayed aorund 120/80 and my total cholesterol was 185 with triglycerides at 135. I only used alcohol socially, but I smoked a pack a day for 15 years. They completely blamed my event on smoking and I would have to agree, if you smoke you really need to consider stopping.... wish I had years ago.

Good luck Curtis, make those life style changes!
