Im new here and have been just reading post for the past few months, but now i feel like i would like to talk to others about this. Im not telling alot of people i know about it, my family knows and a few close friends but thats it. Im just nervous, Im nervous about the the procedure and about not waking up or something going wrong. I went and had my preops done the other day and talked about it with the nurses and they were great, they made me feel alittle better about it then I decided to tall a close friend to and he told me that it was bad i shouldt do it his family knew a guy who had the bypass done, bla, bla, bla and his family found him dead in front of his x-mas tree. I guess it was due to an infection that had spread to through his body.. I was just wondering if anyone else has gotten these kind of reactions.. Or if anyone else who is pre op has these worries, and i'd like to hear from some post op people to. I need to do this i need to be healthy for my family. And myself. I started my liquid diet on wensday, i can have three shacks, which is hard for me to drink all of them and i can eat a small health meal for dinner, i feel good better then i thought i would, i was having headaches but they have seemed to pass. Is it bad that i only do 2 shackes and the meal plus my vitamins.. Tomarrow im going to try and start doing the three a day. Thank you for listening!!
