I've never heard of anyone having a bypass for that reason. That sounds really scary. I had my surgery 4 weeks ago. They surgery itself wasn't bad but I'm dealing with some other complications now....what is it that you would specifically like to know about the surgery?

I think I might get a second opinion. As for me, my surgery date is May 1. It's been a 9 month process to do all of the required tests. I wish you well.
