Comments on: How to Avoid Complications From Bypass Surgery

on 4/24/2008 My husband just had bypass surgery. His grandfather, and his great grandfather as well as great uncles died in their early 50's, my husband's age, from heart attacks. They ate wholesome foods back then. Any way, I am his caregiver and have taken off work during this time. I'm just wondering how long I should plan on being home to help him before going back to work. His surgery was 4/16/08 so it's only been a little over a week and he's been home 2 days. He's so weak, but every day he's a little better. Any ideas?

There is a good chance that people reading this already need to have bypass surgery. Your comment is both, insensitive and unhelpful. Needing bypass surgery is a very hard thing to deal with. Next time you post, please think about being caring, supportive, and informative adult. Also, eating fried foods is not the only thing that causes someone to need bypass surgery. There are many risk factors for heart disease. A person can do things to help prevent heart disease, such as eating less fried food, but some risk factors cannot be changed. Check out this link, http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4726 for more information from the American Heart Association on risk factors of heart disease and heart attack.
