Open heart surgery is a life-saving operation used to treat a variety of heart related issues. If you are undergoing open heart surgery, it is vital to the success of the operation and your recovery that you follow your doctor's orders precisely. If you are a smoker you should stop immediately. Smoking slows the healing process and can also complicate the surgery. The surgeon will also advise you not to eat for a certain time length prior to the surgery- make sure that you do not under any circumstances break this rule.

What is the difference between open heart surgery and bi pass surgery?
The term "open heart surgery" is really used incorrectly. We use it to mean a surgery where the chest is cut open to get the heart. A "bypass surgery" is where they cut open your chest and reroute the large blood vessels (arteries) on the outside of the heart. We do wrongfully call Bypass Surgery a type of Open Heart Surgery. But I would call a real "open heart surgery" where they cut open the chest and then cut open the heart to work inside the heart, like replace valves.
