Hi AJ,

My Grandad had a triple bypass last Wednesday as he was having bad pains in his chest. He is still in hospital and it is amazing how good the doctors and nurses are. Like you i was petrified on what was going to happen but the consultants will tell you all there is you need to know.

The operation is a very common nowadays they do around 2-3 a day. And as the consultants will tell you when your at the hospital when your father has it done he will feel a new man

Also looking at all the other posts, you have a lot of support and people who will listen to you if you need to chat at anytime. Good luck to your father as i know he'll be absolutely fine
