Same thing happened to my dad 3 1/2 years ago. He ended up having quadruple bypass surgery. Of course he had smoked 3 packs a day as long as I can remember. Hasn't touched one since.

I didn't note, my dad gave up smoking 2 months ago. He smoked for 30 years before he just gave it up, but he was a healthy man besides the bad bad cigs.

I quit 7 years ago and I can tell that it is really hard for the first year and for me it took about 5 years before I stopped thinking about smoking.

I have had 2 angio's and my Doctor has promised me my bypass in the future if I survive a host of other problems.

Best of luck and a very good day tomorrow.

I'm sitting on my computer here in the waiting room, the nurse just came in and said the surgery is complete and that everything went well. Just thought I would give you guys all an update.

That is great Irish. The hard part is over. He'll be back to his old self quicker than you'd expect.
