Had doublr bu-pass some 25 years ago, (and I'm still here !), so my recollections are a bit rusty. I was off work for 6 months but that was mainly 'cos the Company medical cove was a nice old ex-army type who was enjoying telling my then-boss to pxxx off. 3 months min I would think for sense. You'll be in hospital for around 5 - 7 days. You might want to ask if DVLA need to be notified and your mjotor Insurance company will almost certainly want to know.......as will your travel insurance company.

Back to driving ? Couple of months min............they cut through the sternum and that has to heal properly before you start getting physical. Track driving ? You should be fine for the Summer.

As I say, I'm a bit rusty on this but your surgeon can and will give you good guidance on all this. If you have a clinic appointment this is the time to ask all these sorts of questions. All routine to the professionals so just ask. Even your GP will have good info - there may even be a leaflet covering it all.

Hope it all goes well. Mine did and they've moved on a lot in the last quarter century. Regardless of what you hear about the NHS, in these situations they are by good.

I'm in tomorrow to have a small tumour removed from my bladder. I have routine bladder inspections, (which is how they found it), and it's rather odd laying there watching the inside of your own bladder on-screen. Of course, you can guess how they get the camera in there - and whatever else they need to remove the tumour. O.K., you can uncross your legs now.

You'll be fine. Just take it easy and obey Nursey.
