There are worse things that could happen if bypass surgery is NOT done. The procedure is becoming more refined everyday, and the recovery times are getting quicker too.
And I happen to know a bit about all of this because I had a triple-bypass less than two months ago, and I'm already back to working full time. The only thing that does take a while to heal, is where they have to split the sternum, that takes around a full 90-days to really set. Other than that I was up and walking around in the hospital in less than two days after surgery.
Best of luck to your Dad's surgery.
