np - it is serious surgery and would scare anybody - BUT finding out your dad needs bypass surgery is way better than other major medical problems - such as cancer. surgery is surgery - even when you get put under to get your wisdom teeth out they'll tell you there's a risk - but success rates for bypass surgery are extremely high.
they have people walking around the day after a bypass i think these days and out of the hospital a few days later if things are going well.
