" Just listen to what your cardio tells you, keep taking your meds. It took me a year to get back to normal so hang in there....... "

" I had a 5-way by-pass done in April 2003. It took me about 6 weeks before I felt reasonably well. It was probably 4 months before my appitite came back and I could walk without a cane. I had 50 staples in my left leg (top to bottom). Just talk to you cardiologist and tell him/her what is going on. That is what got me through. Hope you have a quick recovery and things are fixed. "
