Hi @liv_tru, welcome to Connect. It is reasonable to be concerned when a loved one is facing such a complex surgery. Thank you @lioness for sharing your story. In addition, I would like to invite some more members who have experienced a triple bypass surgery who may be able to talk with you more about the experience and recovery. @sammysky, @aaaporterhouse, @sonyaparkey, @ronitb, and @smallpartice have all discussed a triple bypass for themselves or a loved one. @liv_tru, if you don't mind sharing, what concerns you the most about the surgery?

Hi and thank you for the replies!! I couldn’t login so I had to make a new sign-in. Anyways- I’m worried the most that two major operations in a years time is going to be tough on him. His blood pressure got really low last surgery- only about 30 seconds, but still. His pressure has been a bit lower too as of recently, but I think they have it under control now. Just scared that something will happen, unforeseen. Dr said it will be a little more complex than a usual bypass and that he is a little higher risk because of that. I’m just dreading it and want it to be over. The idea of stopping his heart and lowering his body temperature is terrifying 😟
