Just had my by-pass surgery this past Tuesday the 16th of September. I know everyone's results will be different as well as their experiences. Myself, I find I cannot sleep comfortably in my bed as yet, so spend my night in my husband's cinema chair. When I lay down it feels like my insides are rolling around loose.

Surgery went well, as I am an older woman, I was a little nervous about that. I am proud to announce of the six patients on the floor having by-pass surgery, I was the oldest and first to be discharged. Sorry, had to brag a little.

Would love the support of others on this journey, so hope to hear from everyone.

Hugs to all

Congratulations.

Glad to hear you are doing well!

Glad you are doing well. Things get better as time goes by. I had a few bumps along the way but they were relatively short lived and although I still have a ways to go the change is dramatic and I can do so much that I could not even think about before. Good times are ahead!

Hi All,

Thanks for the good words. I would love to have some mentors along the way. I live in RI and have attended a support group once. I love the computer, am retired, but have none I know going through this journey. I don't want to be a bore to those who don't understand the "overweight psyche", as I call it. It's always nice to share with those who have had a like experience.

I am almost seventy-one, and everyone says I don't look my age. I always loved Blanche on the Golden Girls, and I'm striving to be her, in her fabulous outfits.

I don't know my present weight or starting weight, and won't until my first follow-up post-op appointment, which is on my birthday, October second.

Anyway, hoping to make lots of new friends who are traveling this road with me.

Hugs

So glad you are doing okay. You are an inspiration.
