I am not a doctor and I don't play one on TV
You are gonna go from a 10ER to a Mark VII ! From the service road to the passing lane. You will get a skip in your step. Well worth the time and investment and you will have far more energy for more projects. Good Luck:)

Find out how they are going to do it.
My wife had bypass and they opened her chest.
Just a few months ago my buddy had open heart surgery and they only opened a few ribs. His recovery was 100 times faster and 100 times less painful.
When they open your chest they cut through just about every major muscle in your chest. They then crack the ribs at the sterum and move the organs aside and do the work. They wire the rib cage back (my wife's xray looks like a spiral notebook is inside) and sew the muscles together. However there is a long healing time.
We are told most bypasses do not require open chest. Check to see your options.
We wish we had checked our options.
Yeah, I had read about that and had hope but we discussed that and he wants to do mine open chest... I figure that he has done more of these than I have so we will do it his way.

My dear wife went through that in April. She had what they call "the widow maker". We were both amazed at the level of pain control and short hospital time for such a major operation. Walking within two days and able to assume full activity after three months. As others have said, well worth it.
All the best!

If it makes you feel any more at ease, my grandpa lived an hour north of Indy and was born with abnormally small arteries (not sure what the name for that is). Over the course of 15 years he had at least two angioplasties and a bypass at St Vincent and they always fixed him up right. My grandma was a retired RN and both of them had nothing but good things to say about their experience down there. Hope everything is as comfortable and smooth for you.
