What does it mean when you have had a massive heart attack and your heart is dead?
I means that you are posting this question from the Heaven. Hugs on the female angels. (I assume that your are kidding, if not, excuse-me).But, how can your heart is dead? Obviously this is a matter for a cardiologist. Well, you have to perform a lot of tests from now on, to determine your cholesterol and triglycerides' levels. But, it means that the muscles of your heart would have its strength decreased, and only the time can tell how long do you have to wait to completely recover its power. It's possible that you will have to receive a Coronary artery bypass surgery, and take Lipitor to keep your cholesterol levels at low numbers. If you are a smoker, you have necessarily to quit it.
Your daughter is smoking and she is having gastric bypass what risks are there?
The problem with smokers in any surgery (gastric bypass or anything else) is that they have a lower oxygen intake, and thus take longer to heal. If it's a surgery for example, that repairs a broken bone, the bone would take much longer to heal in a smoker than it would a non-smoker. However, a specific concern in gastric-bypass surgery is that in smokers, the risk of developing blood clots is much higher - in fact it's highly recommended that the patient quit before the procedure. Blood clots can cause everything from brain damage to death if it travels to the wrong part of your body.

Tobacco use - effects on arteries?
Shown here is a comparison of an artery affected with plaque in a non-smoker and smoker. The artery of the smoker is at greater risk for developing complications since smoking constrict arteries, predisposing them to clotting by altering platelet function and coagulability of blood. The result is blockage of the artery.Reviewed ByReview Date: 10/10/2008Larry A.
