NEW YORK - Regis Philbin announced Monday on “Live With Regis and Kelly” that he is scheduled to have bypass surgery this week.
He says, “I’ve been feeling chest pains, shortness of breath and all those little symptoms that you hear about.” And he says after a number of tests, doctors recommended the bypass. But, Philbin says he’s definitely not happy about it, saying, “Darn it, I don’t want to do it.”
Philbin says he was hoping to get away with an angioplasty, but he says “there’s some plaque in some arteries and I’ve got to get it cleaned out.”
