Coronary artery bypass surgery is major surgery but is generally well tolerated. Sternal healing generally takes 4-6 wks but can take longer. The subjective perception of pain post bypass is quite variable. In general, little old ladies seem to complain less than younger more active males.
Every Surgery is painful. Anesthesia should control your pain.
