I know from reading various comments here that there's a few regulars who bear the scar of a heart bypass.
I'm currently facing the same operation and I'm finding conflicting information regarding the benefits, or otherwise, of "off-pump" proceedures, stenting, etc.
Whilst stents would seem the obvious choice, in my case the length/extent of one of the blockages makes it difficult to ascertain how successful it might be. The consultant seems to be steering me away from stents towards bypass and I'm not in a position to offer an argument one way or the other.
So I suppose I'm really just looking for any advice from personal experience and, given that I'll only be hearing from survivors,as oppose any other type, I'm hoping it'll encourage me.
