My dad had a quintuple bypass about 10 years ago. They were originally going to do 3 but found two more minor ones when they got in there.
Recovering from your chest being stitched is harder than the heart side of it. He had three months off work and had to be very careful (eg after awhile he was allowed to bring in the milk from the gate but only one bottle at a time due to the weight of them).
Has been great ever since though, he never had chest pains anyway (more had asthma style symptoms) but got back into playing squash, renovating houses etc.
Only ongoing issue was he finds his legs where the veins were taken from tend to get cold quicker than they used to...but thats pretty minor compared to what it solves.
He has found that he cant remember any of the time he spent in ICU after coming out of surgery even though he was conscious and talking to us. Thats probably for the best though.
It is big surgery but the results are just as big. Good luck
My father-in-law had his done there. Very good job, and the recovery time was amazing.
