Coronary artery bypass operations are common
surgeries that help patients with heart
conditions, lessen their symptoms and reduce the
risk of heart attacks. Bypass surgeries ensure
that enough blood can reach the heart when some
arteries may be narrowed or blocked.

• Preparing for bypass surgery
• You can expect to be resting and unable to
  perform any strenuous tasks for a while after
  your surgery. Thats why its important to sort
  out important details before going to the
  hospital, including
• Transport to and from the hospital
• Arrange for help at home for up to two weeks
  after your surgery
• Remind yourself on what the surgery involves
• Stock up on easily prepared foods, such as
  healthy ready meals, cans and staples.
• Prepare your home so you have everything you
  might need within arms reach, or near to the
  place you will be spending most of your time in
  recovery. This may include entertainment,
  medicines, phone, glasses, tissues, etc.
• Stop smoking as far ahead of the surgery as you
  can. Smoking can lead to chest infections,
  leading to complications during the surgery.
• If you have questions about bypass
  surgery-whether you need it or what to expect if
  youre already booked in for the procedure
