I've had several stents inserted over the years, all about 2 years apart. About 5 years ago (I've lost track of exactly when it was now) and after the 5th or 6th stent, my specialist said, "I think it's time to think about a bypass." To be honest I didn't have to think about it for more than a moment, and I was in having the procedure done within a fortnight. It was the best move I ever made. As soon as I woke up, despite the soreness, I knew that my quality of life was going to be better.

I must say, I was encouraged no end by a letter that 'Spaw sent me outlining EXACTLY what I dad to look forward to, before, during, and after the procedure.

I tell you, after reading that, ANYTHING would have been a walkover.
(If you've still got a copy of the PM in question 'Spaw, please pass it on with my blessing!)

You'll laugh til your sides hurt. That'll take your mind of the other bits.

Good luck with the surgery, We'll all look forward to hearing from you at the other end.

Cheers
