Members who have had by-pass surgery.

I became a member of the "zipper club" and had quadruple bypass in 2009. Doctor required 6 weeks of confinement at home. First week or so you did everything you could to not cough. A stuffed pillow was given to me to hold to my chest when I did cough, it helped. After 2 weeks I progressively got better and able to do more. I felt 99% back to normal by the end of the 6 weeks. The follow up to the at home time was 6 weeks rehab. Luckily for me since I had not had an attack previously I finished rehab early. Some of the other members of my rehab group had attacks before the surgery and took a little longer to bounce back. Everyone is different. Only continuing issue is prescription for plavix daily as a preventative. I did have a stent in 2017 in another artery. It was a piece of cake compared to the bypass.

Good Luck and prayers are with you.
