Yes...
Frequently referred to as “CABG Surgery” or “open heart surgery”, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery is the surgical treatment of choice for blocked arteries surrounding the heart.
Once the saphenous vein has been recovered, the chest is opened by making an incision along the sternum, or breastbone. The surgeon then cuts the sternum, allowing the chest cavity to be opened, giving the surgeon access to the heart.
In the traditional CABG procedure, the heart is stopped with a potassium solution so the surgeon is not attempting to work on a moving vessel, and the blood is circulated by a heart-lung machine. At this time the heart-lung machine does the work of the heart and the lungs, and the ventilator is not used.

My father had a triple by pass done at Washington Hospital Center almost 2 years ago and they didn't stop his heart. It depends on the surgeon I believe and how bad the blockage is.

Depending on where the arteries are located you can also have minimally invasive heart bypass surgery. This does not require stopping the heart.

My dad had triple bypass, valve repair, and reconstruction. Pretty extensive surgery. He came out fine. His surgeon (Dr. Boyce) is good, very good. I think WHC is the best! Prayers for you and 'she'.

install Microsoft security essentials if you have not already.
they install stopzilla, its a free download for a trial version of it.
between the two they will clear up your browser issue.

If everything else is in fair shape before the surgery, there is very little problem with it anymore.
My dad had a 4 way bypass 15 years ago, his recovery was rough as far as comfort goes, but he has been doing pretty good since..
well, at least the bypass part has been doing good, he has a bad valve now and they really cant do anything for him other than drugs to keep him from having congestive heart failure.

Prayers for a successful surgery and a fast recovery.
for the next couple of weeks make sure that the pillow they send her home with to put pressure on her chest when she coughs,, does not leave her side.

I just did this
I had quadruple bypass surgery less than 2 weeks ago and I am at home recovering. My surgery was on a Friday afternoon and I was discharged the following Tuesday afternoon. I am out walking 2-3 times a day and am also doing stairs at my house.
I had my surgery at GW University hospital. I thank god for the skills of the surgical team and the care I received while at GW. The nurses in the ICU and CCU were amazing. The support from friends and family was incredible. I can never repay all these people for what they did for me. I will be forever grateful. My loving wife is the most amazing person. While I always knew that, she has been incredible. I could not get thru this without her.
I did not have to go on the bypass machine. They did not have to stop my heart. The only thing I remember is waking up with the breathing tube still down my throat. That was not pleasant but fortunately, it did not last long.
I am amazed by how fast I seem to be recovering. The 1st week at home was kind of rough but the progress was still there. I did not use one of the Heart-Hugger pillows that I've heard mentioned. I was wearing a small harness around my chest that had two handles on the front of it. I could grab the handles and squeeze them together when I felt a cough coming on. It still hurts when you cough but the harness helped alot. I stopped using the harness after about 10 days altogether.
I hope you have a comfortable lounge chair at home. I can't even get comfortable in a bed no matter how many pillows and such I use. I can be very comfortable in my lounge chair. It's where I sleep, at least for now.
Like I said, I'm at home and recovering so I have lots of time. Please PM me if you want. I'd be happy to answer anything I can. Good Luck!

Been a fan for many years
I'm hoping that they do the reverse of last year. Play well enough to get into the playoffs and then get hot, Make a serious run for the cup. Thta's what we'll all remember instead of a great regular season and being swept out of the first round of the playoffs.
