My nightmare

[Kimteehee 21]

As of right now I would not get the surgery again but I'm sure in a few months I would say different. It's been very rough and very depressing. My worst thing is dealing with lower back pain from laying in a hospital bed for a month.

So how are you feeling now???

Elpa,

Please do not let this thread change your mind. Yes think about it, ask your doc to see his/ her stats on complication, have a frank discussion with your doc! Remember these women are in only 1% or less than that! I sailed through , 8 weeks out, loss so far 55 lbs, and walking 6-7 miles per day, swimming. The best thing I've ever done for myself!!!!

These stories are not representative of 99% of surgeries!

Hi Kimteehee,

What an ordeal. I am so glad you are okay.

My bypass will be at Fair Oaks Hospital October 28th. Not too far from you.

[Kimteehee 21]

Yes. Our problems are VERY rare
