Hi, y'all, I had a quad bypass on February 20 and I am responding very well. I haven't had any of the problems I've seen on the threads here. I was in the hospital 3 days. I do have some questions - someone had a concern about the grafts holding, I never heard about that, is that a real concern or was that just over-reacting to a serious operation. Also someone asked about the heart lung machine. My doctor said they don't use those any more, they keep it handy in case it's needed during the operation but most operations are done without it. Which is good because I understand that the machine can cause a lot of complications. I feeling well, I walk about 45 minutes a day(not very fast). I still have pain in my chest especially when I bend down, and it's real bad when I sneeze. The pain in my arm subsided just yesterday (they used the radial artery in my arm for a graft.) I'll probably start rehab this week. Ken
