How do I prepare for bypass surgery?

Rest, eat well, quit smoking, and walk or do the exercise allowed by your doctor. Several routine tests are done before surgery:
 

EKG (electrocardiagram)
Echocardiogram
Blood tests
Medical history and exam
Chest X-ray
 
Make a list of any questions you have and ask the doctor before surgery. You will receive specific instructions before surgery to completely prepare you for the procedure.
