I want to congratulate you on making lifestyle changes. A stent is such an easy and quick procedure nowadays, many patients don't take it seriously.

I had my first LAD ("Widowmaker") blockage and heart attack at 29. Now, at 39, my cholesterol is almost 400 and my triglycerides are 996. The cath lab was so brief and I was home the next day, so it never really felt important or serious, and I didn't make any real changes. Now, with ischemia and reduced ejection, I wish I had done something 10 years ago like I should have.

Glad you aren't as dumb.

Do you have a plan and a support system in place to make sure you stick to your changes? Being accountable to someone can be a huge part of success.
