My name is Paul and i had my bypass on Monday. my life has changed in three days i lost 11 lbs and i am scared for my future. some of the things that a person goes through is never fully disclosed. i looked into this for over 2 yrs and still don't have all the answers i hope that by being here if i have a stupid question no one will laugh.

Congrats on being a loser.

You know the saying there is no such thing as a stupid question. Ask away no matter what. Someone is always able to help some how.

I had GBP 1/6/06 and have losy 185 lbs. I found if I followed the doctors instructions to the letter all went well. Just yake your time and don't try to rush things. It helps to get into a live support group in your area. I still attend one at the VA Hosp. and learn things every time.
Best of luck.

Congrats on having your surgery. Its quite a ride from emotions to physical, but all very, very good in the end.

Take it slow and make sure you get in all your fluids and do your best with the protein. How long do they have you on liquids/soft foods?

Wishing you the best and no question is to silly.

Hi Paul!

Congratulations on completing your surgery! I'm about 8 weeks post-surgery and can tell you that you are in for some interesting times. I learn something new about my "new" plumbing almost every day. Everything is going to be great!!! Just take it a day at a time.

Very nice to meet you!!
