On my dad's side his dad went thru 2, 4 quadruple bypasses in the early 80's and 2 or 3 heart attacks before he figured it out to listen to the doctors. Mom's side diabetes goes back to my mom and her grandma they both died from it. But so far I have taken after my mom sides of the family and my great aunt just around died 93. My dad's side my grandpa had a place matcher and a defibrillator installed and he lasted to 90. They both died in the 2 years. Your dad is about where my dad's dad was when this started so a lot has changed if he will take care of himself. Prayers on the way.

He definitely will. He's at the gym 6 days a week. That's his main concern with the surgery is that he'll be out of commission a while and that could have some negative effects for his heart.
