Open-heart surgery ni Gary V success

MANILA, Philippines – Matagumpay ang emergency open heart surgery operation ni veteran singer Gary Valenciano, ayon sa kanyang management company na Manila Genesis Entertainment and Management Inc.

Kinumpirma rin ito ng misis ni Gary na si Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano, habang humingi ng dasal para sa mabilis na paggaling ng kaniyang mister.

“In behalf of our family, I request for prayers for my husband’s speedy recovery,” pakiusap ni Angeli.

Bago sumailalim sa sensitibong operasyon, isinulat ni Gary V ang mga napagdaan nitong mga nakakaraan at kung bakit niya natuklasan na kailangan niya ng open heart surgery.

Kwento niya, dalawang linggo lang ang nakararaan, nag-celebrate siya ng 35th anniversary sa industriya at mayroon silang dance performance ng kanyang anak na si Gabriel. Ngunit ang performance na ‘yun aniya ang hindi niya makakalimutan.

“After that dance, I felt a sensation I’d never felt before - not even during the times I would push myself, riding my mountain bike on the trails for extended periods of time - I felt tightness and pain in my chest. Upon consulting my doctor, he advised me to go through tests immediately. I want to share the results of my tests with you,” ani Gary V.

“Friends - the good news?  I have a good, strong heart.  The doctors are amazed. My heart and all its blood vessels, with the exception of one, are miraculously in excellent condition. Surprising after 39 years of Type 1 Diabetes.  The tough news? The one exception - the main valve, my left anterior descending artery (LAD) is 95% blocked and now has very thin walls, because of diabetes,” patuloy niya.

Humingi siya ng paumanhin sa mga fans at mga kasamahan sa industriya sa mga hindi niya mapupuntahan na mga event sapagkat kailangan niya ng full recovery.

 “I now lie here on a hospital bed because I need a bypass immediately.  I apologize to my ASAP, Your Face Sounds Familiar, and Showtime families and fans, the companies and organizations i am scheduled to do shows for; the students from various universities I am so excited to meet... I was especially looking forward to “Unstoppable”, Darren Espanto’s concert. I need to excuse myself from all these commitments until I fully recover from the bypass surgery.”

Sinabi rin niya na pinili niyang isapubliko ang kanyang kondisyon para maiwasan ang chismis at usap-usapan a puwedeng magdulot ng pag-aalala.

“Do not worry please, only pray - I have an expert team of gifted doctors, some of them have taken great care of me for many, many years now. I believe in my God who restores; my God who heals, and rescues, my God who is my strength...and my God who gives each of us a thousand 2nd chances.”

Umaasa rin siya na makabalik agad sa entablado para muling magpasaya gamit ang kanyang talento.

 “I know one day soon i will give my all on that stage again, perhaps in my spirit, even stronger than ever before.  I believe this will be a story to tell people, and yes, it will be another one of God’s amazing faithful, merciful, gracious, and good ways.”
