It makes no particular difference I have RA and have maintained the same weight most of my life 61 years. However as a result of not being quite as active and possibly some of the drugs I use now there is a slight weight gain. this however seems to be minor.

Is there any weight loss in POST Coronary Artery Bypass Graft patients?

There isn't a specific amount of weight than can be quoted, however, you will experience a certain amount of weight loss provided you follow your doctor's dietary advise. First - After your surgery you will more than likely lose your appetite for a short period. When you go home, you will find it will take short while before your appetite returns, therefore a loss of weight in inevitable. Second - If you follow the dietary suggestions of your doctor you will notice some weight loss from having a better diet. The amount of weight you lose will be somewhat determined by what diet you chose and how much overweight you may or may not be. Third - If you start a cardiac rehab exercise program and stick to a healthy routine you can also lose some weight from this as well. The lose of weight isn't something to be alarmed at, as long as you don't lose too much weight at once and you are in a position where losing some weight would be helpful. You need to watch your weight once you return home from the hospital and report any sudden gain or loss in weight to your doctor. Your doctor will provide you with post operative instructions that will include a certain amount of weight gain/loss and when to call.

Do you get arthritis if you click your fingers?

It can and does commonly, yes. In the case of Osteoarthritis, a glucosamine supplement daily can be a big help, but it doesn't work quickly - figure six months to a year, but the longer you use it the more helpful it is, trust me. For Rheumatoid arthritis, whatever your doctor prescribes is what will help most.
