Title: Second Surgery Done!!!!!!!!!!
Post by Amanda on Jan 14^th, 2007 at 10:53pm

I had my first Bypass on the left side on Aug. 7th 2006
(12 hours long). I went in for the right side Jan 9th. 2007 which was about 7 hours. My Doctor was unable to do the full bypass, But he brought the vessel to the top and secured it with muscle. I has told that the blood flow on that side won't change for about six months. He was scared that if he probed deeper I would have a major stroke. I am doing great only spent one night in the hospital. Now I get to do the waiting game till further test are done in late summer. Any questions please fell free to ask. I hope everybody has a great 2007!!!!!!!!

Great news Amanda....sorry the surgery was a bit "colorful"...but glad he went conservatively.....you certainly wouldn't want a stroke!

Get your rest....and check back with us in a little bit....when you are up and about. Right now you need some TLC.
