James,
Hi! My mother has had 2 bipass surgeries, one triple and one double. She has had 18 angioplasties since. She was 42 when her first surgery occured. The best thing after her surgeries was to go to cardiac rehab and to talk to other people who have gone through this surgery. It helps to talk to family, but from my families experience, Mom felt she could relate more to people with similar problems.

As for yourself, you should get on a treadmill or walk at least 20 minutes 3 times a week and cut down on fatty foods. That's what my doctor recommended because I'm only 24. Also, get checked out and have bloodwork done to ease your mind.
Hope this helped!
April
