Open heart surgery carries a risk that can often be avoided by changing one's lifestyle.
Please see the section on by-pass surgery on the Healing Heart Foundation website. Also, check out two books before your father is scheduled for surgery: Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease (a national bestseler) and Dr. John McDougall's Heart Book. You should be able to find both online through Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
