" good luck with your bypass! I'm sure you'll be just fine. I had a CABG x 4 in 11-05 and although I recovered quickly, I had problems afterward. I'm only 33 yrs old now so I had just turned 30 about a month before my CABG. I haven't heard of the da vinci system but I hope it works better than the surgery I had cuz it was HELL! But it saved my life so it was definately worth it! "
