Thanks Guys! It's been a long road - let me tell you. I have been on the

preop list and watching all of you for over 7 years now. I did not make the

choice lightly. It took a long time of learning from y'all to make the jump,

and I will say here & now that you guys are the best resource a person can have

and are all very generous with your time as I hope to be.

As for a little info - I am from NY (Long Island) - my high around

Thanksgiving was 285 - but I stressed myself so the week before surgery that I

didn't eat much & was 273 day of surgery. Why can't I do that on my own

permanenetly. eh! BG

Dr. R did a 7 ft bypass. I felt great after surgery, walked & walked like the

nurses told me to. Yesterday am - I felt like a truck hit me. A little naseous

and dizzy. Dr. R fixed me right up with a drug cocktail nap and I woke up like

a new woman. Released by 6pm - and had a good nights sleep here in hotel. I

feel great this morning so far. Not hungry at all - forcing myself to sip, sip,

sip my gatorade, chicken soup & yogurt. But so far all is well. My calves are

a little tingly, but I am attributing it to the TED stocking he wants us to keep

on with just a few breaks in between.

I shall be looking for more advice I am sure, so thank you for the warm

welcome.
