BigAlofPA, look around, why would you listen to what people say based on what you see going on?
Do your research on what your diet should be and trust no one that you think would be trustworthy. The proper diet is absolutely not what you're being told. I had a triple bypass 3 years ago and did my research because I trust no one. I put myself on a special diet and my Drs involved in that portion of my health couldn't be happier with where I am and where I'm going. But you need to find it for yourself. It goes against everything the media would have us believe, what a surprise that the media would lie to us, right? But the go'vermin "experts" are no better.
Not just here, but independently I've heard of people going past 20 years after bypass surgery. Relax, pay no attention to what the know nothings tell you.
