Just a brief note on my journey so far!
Self funded bypass 26 July 2013. No problems post-op, struggled a bit with puree'd stage so was allowed to move on to mashed a week early.
Have only ever dumped once, (on cranberry juice that was not diluted enough).
Still can't quite believe how lucky i've been in that I've had such an easy time.
Pre-op weight 20 stone 6lb
Weight now - 10 stone 11lb.
All this, without doing any regular exercise although have been much more active in general and have finally joined the gym this week
