Thanks for the note Kevin. To clarify, I didn't change my diet much as it was already 'squeeky clean' (my wife's on my diet like white on rice). But did clean up the last forays into cholestrol land (i eat a slice of pizza on occasion,butw/o the pepperoni). With the statin, TC is ~140, and LDL < 70.
I was pretty asymptomatic - low cholestrol (hi end of 'acceptable' range). I did start to get burning in my esophogus with mild exercise (walking), and initially treated it as gastro - but the endoscopy found nothing. On to the cardio. The 5 years before the operation, however, I went inactive - too much work (sit), not enough activity. Other than diet, my advice is to keep trucking.
Is there a by-pass oak cluster for the 4000 footer badge??
