Thanks pandora!! I have been following your journey really closely as you had your op at bournemouth also, and you have done amazingly well too... I know I should be excited, but i think apprehensive is a good word to describe how I feel right now!! along with downright terrified too!! I know I am lucky to be given this chance to have the bypass and change my life, but as you say it is still such a big committment to a total life change. Suppose I am frightened that I won't be able to cope, or the op will go wrong, or I won't even manage to do the milk diet!!! lol so many different thoughts running around in my head at the moment, its pure panic lol.....
