I really depends on what kind of bypass surgery you are talking about. If it is coronary artery bypass surgery you should have relief of chest pain or other heart related symptoms. If it is lower extremity arterial bypass surgery you should have relief of pain in your leg. Generally, if your doctor recommended a vascular bypass and the endovascular option is not available I would not delay it asking for multiple opinions. If you don’t trust the surgeon to do what is best for you I would recommend another surgeon.
