I think the lack of motivation this far out is normal because I feel it too and I'm at about three weeks post op. I have also been dealing with a lot of anxiety attacks which I thought was weird because I've never had them before. My doctor said it was all normal and to be expected with a big change like this. So the up side is we are all normal; not that that makes it any easier to deal with lol.

Good news to those of you feeling exhausted! I had my surgery in June on the 19th and felt the same way! But between week 4-5 It's like I woke up and had all my energy back! I was starting to get worried that I would feel that way forever. It was crazy! I would take a shower and try to blow dry my hair and think okay..now I need a nap! Lol. It gets better I promise!

I hate exercise! I started a Water aerobics class. It doesn't feel like exercise.

Hello Central Valley surgery buddies!
I'm also going to ALSA in Fresno, Dr. Higa is my surgeon. Have been impressed with quality of service this far and I have heard great things about the quality of care at Fresno Heart Hospital.
I am both excited and nervous for the big day ( July 8) to arrive.
Has anyone attended any of the support groups at ALSA?

Thanks tsworkinger! Great to know we are surgery buddies! Losers bench... Here we come!

Hi all!
I just joined the group tonight but have been reading all the posts for awhile. My surgery date is also in July... July 8th. Thanks to all who have posted all their stories and advice so far, it has been a great comfort and help.
I am ready to embark on this journey, as it has been a long road for me to make the final decision to take this huge step , but I am confident that I will be successful. Looking forward to sharing stories, tips, advice, and words of encouragement with everyone!
