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 😟

@livtru That certainly is a concern for any operation ,a person takes that risk when going under but if your Dad is in good health otherwise and the Dr feels comfortable with doing his surgery ,just believe he will be o.k.The Dr wouldn't put him in jeopardy just lift him up ,think positive ,.
