I wanted to post this thread for the folks in the waiting room. Here I am at 10 weeks post surgery and really feeling good. Outside of my one bump with a-flutter it has been pretty uneventful, including the surgery itself and time in the hospital, and do I ever feel blessed! In addition to going to cardiac rehab 3 days a week I am exercising on my own (walking, pilates) and feel myself gaining strength and energy. I also started back to Weight Watchers (I'm a Lifer who is having to pay right now!) and have lost 9 lbs so far. I am 14 1/2 pounds lighter than my pre-op weigh in the day before surgery.
The other kind of interesting change on this side of surgery is that I am enjoying my job much more. Maybe it has something to do with the support I felt from the people I work for and with during the time I was out after my surgery, but it is certainly a positive I was not expecting.
