God go with you, sir. That should be all you need.

...though I can say that, these days, bypass surgeries are very commonplace. They're done quite frequently, so your surgeon should have things well in hand. You've got about a 98.3% chance of coming out just fine.

Nationwide Study Finds That Women Have Greater Risk of Mortality Than Men After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Compared with men, women continue to have a roughly 30-40 percent higher risk of dying following coronary artery bypass surgery, according to a large study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

My dad had his first heart attack at 48. He seemed to be an otherwise healthy man. But ... he didn't take care of himself after that. Depressed and all the rest. Don't be that man. You want to be there for your family then do what it takes even if it is a pain in the butt and irritating to your pride.

Trust me ... if you have kids and I think you do, they need their father to set that example. I'm talking from experience. And you do yourself no favors if you don't because it will come back around and bite you on the butt big time. I've watched my father have to deal with the consequences of those actions. I love him beyond words but it also hurts beyond words what he now goes through because of his hardheadedness.

You've got this. And God has you. The hard part comes afterwards keeping yourself on the straight and narrow.

Prayers for your safe and effective recovery, Imrik! Being in your 40's is a big plus. Younger you are, the faster the recovery, so I've heard. Still a bummer, I know, but at least you have the odds in your favor. Let us know as soon as possible that you're OK! And don't worry. God has this!

Owner's father had a quintuple bypass back in the early 1990s - when such a surgery was done "open chested." Owner says "they split him like a melon."

Owner says the surgeon had trouble finding enough "arterial grafts" on his legs to do the connections.

Owner's Dad (I remember him) was hale & hearty (pun here) afterwards but by 2005 was having "dementia" issues not related to the surgery. More likely cholesterol related build-up in his brain. Today they would address this by similar bypasses to the brain arterial supply. He did live about 12 year beyond the bypass - most of this pretty active.

And Owner says "he was not a man prone to physical activity."

May you have similar success with your surgery.
