Recovering from an aortic dissection I suffered 4 weeks ago today. Wound up also with a valve replacement, aneurysm repair and a stroke in the process. Anticipating a full recovery but a long recovery ahead.

Hope you recover good. Do you think keto was a main contributor to this?

I'm so pleased you are doing better! Those health scares are no joke.

Supergainz no it was a congenital birth defect in my aortic valve (bicuspid valve) that went undetected until a heart murmur showed up at my latest physical. Further tests revealed the aneurysm. We were going to schedule the surgery during the summer but things literally blew up on a business trip. Way out of left field. Surgeon said I was born that way and things just came to a head now.

So very happy that your aneurysm was detected and that you are on your way to a full recovery.

Do you smoke in addition to doing Keto? I'm with Super -- the Keto diet along with carrying around the extra weight and a compromised aortic valve is really asking a lot from your heart. Hopefully you'll get referred to a registered dietician for a long-term plan for weight loss and heart recovery. Glad to hear you're fighting it and the stroke didn't do irreversible damage.

PS ignore the keto naysayers, it seems to be a religion around here. You do you.
