Man, take it easy. I read your blog every day, and I hope you make a full recovery. You can scale down from GigaOm to MegaOm and still be the best blog out there.

Very glad to hear that you are doing fine, and I wish you the very best for the New Year.

Get well soon!

It’s good to hear you’re making a recovery. Take it easy and get better! We’re all sending our best wishes.

Om…

Glad to hear you are okay. I was surprised to find out that I had high blood pressure this past year and have jumped into a exercise and diet program to combat it.

Take your time recovering. Your family and friends are the most important things in the world. I’ll be praying for a swift recovery.

Sean

Get well soon!

So sorry to hear, Om — I certainly hope you get better quickly. Your team has been doing very well in keeping up the relevant work, and I’m sure things will only get better once you come back.

OM - Best Wishes - Speedy Recovery!

Om, I always enjoy your blog, podcasts, and insights in general. Follow the docs orders and you’ll do fine. It really won’t be so bad. All the best wishes!

Glad you are recovering. Sounds like you have good friends.

Don’t worry about the blog. We’re all on RSS anyway… we’ll be here. Take care of yourself!

Hey buddy
Hope you get well soon..this was a shocker and glad to hear you’re doing well now. Go easy on yourself now…

Get well soon Om, miss ya Buddy

Good to have you back. Please focus on yourself first :)

Om, get well soon

Take your time and get well soon! :)

Get well Om and take it easy.

Your other doctor is ready to visit as soon as we are back. Both Helene and I are as concerned as anyone and are there for anything you may need.

Here’s to a speedy recovery, and we’re on the team to ENFORCE your resolutions.

Touch the smokes I break your fingers…Helene says she’ll break more than that.

Get well my brother,

Andy

Glad to know your doing better. Take rest and get well soon.

Om. Hope you get well soon.

Wow, so sorry to hear that. Hope you are better soon. Thinking maybe you should send your friends to clean out my house.

Om,
Very glad to read that you are recovering after a heart attack, I hope you get well soon.
Take care and wishes for a speedy recovery.
Dimitris.

[...] Please read this note from Om about his unusual holiday. Om had a health scare on Dec 28, but he’s doing well, and has some thoughts to share with you about it. [...]

Om–get well buddy!

Hey Om, get well soon!

Take care.

Better a little one now than a big one later.

[...] but I know our relationship will grow quickly. For those that don’t know Om suffered from a heart attack on December [...]

Get well, Om.

Om
Ariana, Clément and myself are thinking of you. We are relieve to learn you are on the road to full recovery my friend. Take good care of yourself. Until later, peace + love. [a]

Well Crap. Glad you’re recovering. Get well soon and don’t sweat the little stuff.

Om - I read you everyday and look forward to new GigaOm Show episodes. Get well soon. Send your cigars over and I’ll put them to good use!

Get well soon Om. You’ll have to stick to light beers next time your in the UK.

m, that’s terrible news, but thankfully you’re still with us. Take care of that ticker and stick around for a while…we’ll be waiting for that firt Android phone review that only Om can bring. Rest up and get well!

Get well soon Om! Glad you are doing better. Hang in there.

Wow, Om. My thoughts are with you. I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

Great to hear the prognosis is good! Scary to hear you had to go through that. Feel better soon, and doing without the crud will be easier than you think.

Om,

Your periodic gruff exterior (perhaps about to get gruffer short term from absence of caffeine?) can’t hide the fact that you’re one of the “good guys” in the industry.

All of us here at the Agency wish you a speedy recovery.

Take care,

Lou

Take care Om. Stay healthy–we are counting on you!

The good news is you are recovering. Get well, Om.

Get well soon, Om. The world of techno whores needs you!!!
:)

The first 50-90 days of being in your normal routine without the coffee, cigars, and booze are the hardest. After that, you’ll just enjoy having more energy and sleeping better. Glad you’re OK; take it easy!

Sorry to hear the news - get well soon Om!!

You’re too important to the Valley to ever be ill. Good luck on your way back to better health.

Take care of yourself Om, and you’ll be back and feeling better than ever!!! :)

Get well soon, glad you are doing better!!!

As one reader who thoroughly appreciates your plentiful wit, I am thankful to learn you are recovering and wish you well in your efforts to improve your health. The lifestyle changes likely won’t be easy, but I suspect you have the strength and support you need to get through this challenge triumphantly. All the best to you Om!

Om,

Wishing you a speedy recovery and a healthy 2008 . . . and beyond!

Slow down and rest up Om. Hope you’re feeling better real soon!

Ain’t the body wonderful to give you a warning like that?
Thinking of you during your recuperation.

Happy New Year to you and get well soon.

Best of Luck! South Asians like us suffer miserably at the hands of saturated fats in American fare. Lack of adaptation to this high cholesterol diet makes for dangerous grubbin’! Anyway, take care of yourself and here’s wishing you a speedy recovery!

Sending some warm thoughts and best wishes your way Om!

Best wishes on a full recovery.
Peter

Get well soon!

good luck and get well soon! look forward to having you back.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Om.

om, take care of yourself, get better…… rock

Sounds like a great opportunity for a new “recovery blog” :-)

Seriously, though, get well soon, Om!

Just heard via Twitter. Glad to hear it’s none too serious. Dang isn’t the passing of a time a bummer.

Whoaa!! My mentor, my hero….stay alive dude — the world needs you!

Get well soon Om. We will miss your writings.

We’re so glad to hear that you are recovering and we wish you all the best in 2008. You are truly a special and valued voice in the IT industry and a class-act as a human being. Let us know if we can do anything to help.

Om, sorry to hear about that but I’m glad you’re ok. I wish you a healthy 2008 and keep up the great work on your blogs and podcasts!

Get some rest buddy

We are pulling for ya Om! I still think a celery stick would be funny tho, would go well with your hat :)

Om, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You need to take care of yourself because the tech game needs players like you.

Get well soon, Om. Take it easy.

Hey buddy, hoping you are up and running soon, come over and say hi in NYC and i’ll treat you to some swedish health food!

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” - Gandi

BTW stop by NYC in fashion week and we can both run for the models, perfect workout!

Get well soon, Om!

wishing you a speedy recovery and healthy happy 08! take care of yourself, there is only one Om

Wishing you a healthy year ahead.. take care

Om -

Whoa - this is shocking news!

I hope you get well soon buddy! PLEASE take the required rest suggested by your doctors - we need much more Om well beyond 2008!

JG

everyone here has already said it, but i’m shocked and saddened– and yet relieved at least to hear that you are ok and recovering. please let me know anything i can do to help in the mean time! my thoughts are with you

sarah

Take it easy for a while!

You’ll be in all our thoughts, Om. Take care.

Om, glad to hear you are recovering well. May I say, enjoy the slow life for a change. May be its time for kindle after all.

Get well soon and we look forward to hearing back from you..

Om, glad to hear that you will be okay. Must have been scary. I’m making a mental note to remember your experience the next time I think about pouring a glass of amber liquid or scarfing down a plate of BBQ ribs!

Get well (very) soon.

Wow, glad you’re recovering OK,Om. Inspires me to get more conscious about my own habits. Get well soon!

Just taking a moment to remind you to always take care my good friend. Glad to hear you’re doing ok and on the mend, but say vigilant and don’t let yourself become complacent. Health is our most important resource to protect.

OM,
Great to hear you are ok. I wish you a speedy recovery. Ping me if you need anything down here in PA.

Speedy recovery dude

John

I’m sorry Om, but glad to hear that you are making a quick recovery. I read the blog every day and particularly love NewTeeVee. My best to you and your family and wishing you a happy and healthy 2008.

Om, get well soon. Wishing you all the best.

rest. read. renew.

peace brother.

hope to see you soon :)

Om - Feel better. we will say a little prayer for you here where it is a local call. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery & See ya soon.

Get well soon!!!

Om, sorry to hear about this but glad to hear that you are doing well, getting good treatment and caring friends. Stay healthy and hope your recovery continues to go well!

Shannon

Hi Om - I’m glad to know you are okay. I guess you were right about that foie gras in Paris. I hope to see you again soon for some carrot juice and bran muffins ;-)

Lots of love
Kathy

My thoughts are certainly with Om Malik as he recovers from a heart attack!

I was rather shocked today to learn that Om Malik is recovering from a heart attack! The good news, based on his post, is that he is recovering! My thoughts are certainly with Om. Ever since I started paying attention

Get well soon!

Om!

So sorry to hear of your holiday health crisis. But I know that you will make a marvelous recovery in this brand new year. Drop me a line if you need help with anything at all.

Cynthia B.

So glad you are getting good care. Get well soon! All the best. -Rafe

Oh my God my good man, I am sorry to hear that but thank god you are better.

Don’t work so hard!

Ashkan

None of us want to see a celery stick either! But we do want to keep hearing from a healthy Om for a long, long time to come. Get well soon, buddy! Best wishes for a happy, healthy and successful new year, and many many more new years.

Oh no!

Om, please get better soon.

Your friend, Eric.

I hope you feel better buddy. Get some rest, do some rehab and get a bike and ride around. It’ll kick your ass at first but then you’ll be dropping weight and put less of a strain on the old ticker.

I went into the hospital Friday night, perhaps same time as you, with dizziness, shortness of breath, and got full thyroid/enzyme workup. Luckily, my prognosis was OK, but it makes me completely empathize with your experience. Good luck and take good care of your health.

Hey buddy :-)

Glad to hear that you are ok. Looking forward to catching up when you are out.

If you get bored over there, don’t hesitate to call me.

D

I’m very glad to hear you’re on the mend Om. Our thoughts and wishes are with you for a speedy recovery and an easy time following your new health regime. Take good care.

Wishing you speedy recovery and hope you quit smoking. Your’s is a welcome voice in the community!

Best wishes, Om.

Om, man you sure go through a lot of trouble to clear the inbox so you can watch Roger clear his name Sunday night. Get better, dude. @CZ

[...] Here is the full post on GigaOm. http://gigaom.com/2008/01/03/a-heart-to-heart-with-gigaom-readers/ [...]

Get well soon, Om. Glad to hear you’re recovering and we’ll continue to get your news analysis. Take it easy for now though. No late nights working on stories, ya hear?

Only decaf now? Ouch. I’m sure you’ll find a way to stay mentally alert and write great articles.

Om,

Glad to hear that you are doing better now. Also glad to hear that you have gotten rid of a lot of unhealthy stuff. John said it right…you can go down in scale from GigaOm to MegaOm and we will still keep reading your posts! Here’s to a healthier new year for you.

Om, So sorry to hear the news, but very glad to hear you are recovering! Best wishes for a speedy recovery… my thoughts will definitely be with you!

Dan

Om,

That’s shocking news! But you know, it’s not all bran muffins and carrot sticks from this point forward. After being warned by my own doctor about the dangers of high fat food, I began to substitute … hot peppers. It opened up entirely new vistas in eating.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, and stay away from the stogies!

Alec.

[...] I knew this was going to be heavy when I saw the title, and it sure was. [...]

Om, best wishes on a speedy recovery. I might be able to take care of the Scotch for you!

Very grateful to hear that you walked away from this one and are taking care to prevent another. We need you here, OK?

Om, man, get well soon, and I am told that red wine is just fine in moderation, so I look forward to enjoying it with you soon!

Om,

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I knew this was going to be heavy when I saw the title, and it sure was. Heart disease is serious, but you can live with it, as I’ve found out. I had bypass surgery in 2002, and I’m still here. You can also quit smoking, it’s easy when you have motivation.

Om, when you’re feeling better let’s go for a walk.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Om!

Om, I’m looking forward to seeing you back on your feet again soon. Take it easy, and best wishes for a speedy recovery. — PB

Ouch! Very happy to hear that you’re recovering. Let us know if you start “health blogging” (a more serious twist on Jason’s fatblogging). Might be a good place to exchange tips, or just to gripe: “I’m hungry!”

Om - I hope you have a quick recovery. Get well soon! Here’s to a healthy and vibrant 2008!

Get well Om!

Best wishes on a speedy recovery, Om.

Sorry to hear the news, Om. Get well soon!

Fell better soon. 2008 will be your year!

OMG OM, I just heard the news - I’m so sorry to hear what happened, but equally glad to hear your on the mend.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben + Sofia

Om,

We all wish you a speedy recovery. I would humbly ask that your other friends and acquaintances join me in this prayer for healing, called a “Mi Sheberach”

May the One who blessed our ancestors, Sarah and Abraham, Rebecca and Isaac, Leah, Rachel and Jacob bless Om Mailk along with all of the ill among us. Grant insight to those who bring healing, courage and faith to those who are sick, love and strength to us and to all who love them. God, let your spirit rest upon all who are ill and comfort them. May they and we soon know a time of complete healing, a healing of the body and a healing of the spirit and let us say: Amen.

Om - wish you a speedy recovery - if you are still in NYC and I can do anything for you - please do not hesitate to give me a call or email.

Hey Om, you must have a strong will to “walk into the hospital for treatment that night” did you remember to pop in a Bayer Aspirin when you started feeling it or something. Best of luck of your recovery and hope to read more of your articles soon.

Cesar

I’d just like to say that Om is the best boss I’ve ever had (and that includes my mom). Let’s just say he stuck with me even after my own extended stay in a hospital (not to mention the illness that precluded it).

So get better, man! I miss you already.

Damn man. Glad to hear it was caught and that you’re on the road to recovery.

so sorry to hear that. Hope you are better soon.

Take care

Om, Sorry to hear the news. Glad to hear you are recovering! Best wishes for a quick recovery…

-Tarun

Om,

Sorry to hear about this. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

My goodness - please take care of yourself and we all hope you get well soon.

Om,

Happy to hear you are gonna be ok. Stay healthy!

Brett

Hi Om - best wishes for a speedy recovery! Glad to hear you are doing well!

Om, so sorry to hear the news but glad to hear you’re doing well.

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Wishing you a fast and speedy recovery Om! Get will soon, from the Movable Type Team and everyone at Six Apart!

Get well soon Om!

Om, I wish you a healthy and fast recovery! All the best and take care of yourself!

Lori and I wish you a speedy recovery my friend.

Sorry to hear about this Om and hope you recover fully very soon.
