CrazyElvis

Just found this forum and looks like a lot of good info. I have my bypass procedure scheduled for Oct. 27, 2008. I'm excited and scared at the same time...as I'm sure most people are.

I probably should have done this a year or two ago but kept putting it off and failing diet after diet. Kind of like when I put off the sleep apnea test for two years.....taking the test then discovering life again one I had the bi-pap machine.......

I'll try and keep my progress up to date for anyone interested......

Welcome to the boards. There is all kinds of information here. You're definately in the right place for info and support. I'm 9 days away from surgery and like you I'm excited and scared. Keep us posted on your progress.

Welcome, this is an excellent place to learn from others' experience. I think I would have felt like I was doing this with closed eyes (alright, I'm exaggerating!) without all the knowledge here!

I honestly don't remember......I've been CrazyElvis for so long now on another message board (fishing related) that I don't remember when I came up with the name. Most people call me CE for short.....and I think I orig. used the CE moniker on AOL way back in the early 90s.

I guess I solidified the 'Crazy' part at a fishing tourney dinner a number of years ago when a waitress at the restaurant we were having a tournament dinner at dressed me up as a woman for one of the other guys birthday celebration. I came out and sang one of those sexy happy birthday songs to him in front of the whole restaurant......

Hope that answered your question......lol
you are probably sorry you asked now......
