I'm very happy and thankful that my wife urged me to have the surgery. Still in cardio rehab 3x a week, but already about 10 years younger, cardio-wise. My pre-surgery symptom was angina with the slightest exertion or salt intake. My recovery issues were very painful spastic coughing for the first 3 months, sternum pain, chest pain from the graft, and poor sleep. All are resolved.

It gets better. It gets way better. Glad I did it.
