Yes, me too. Regardless of one's political beliefs, there's no excuse for this thread to turn ugly or sarcastic; I hope we can all agree to wish him a speedy recovery.Thomas Veil said:

Good Point. I hope he does get well. Lots of people have long healthy lives after bypasses
That is surprising; he always seemed lively and healthy, even to this day. But, according to the article:
His cholesterol level was probably at an unhealthy level.

Yeah, don't you remember the SNL skits during his first term with him scarfing down whoppers?
I do hope, however, that Clinton's surgery goes well and that he recovers quickly. All the best to this fine American President.
This sounds a lot like what happened to my uncle back in July. However, I don't think APC is going to fire Bill just before he comes back to work 
wasn't he the one who got several cases a week of some brand of chips delivered to air force one each week?CubaTBird said:one to many burgers?
Hopefully everything will go well for him. Regardless of politics, I still wish him good luck and a speedy recovery.
I'm not a fan of the man, but I do wish him a full and speedy recovery. Serious health issues are never fun for anyone experiencing them or their loved ones.

I agree, this brings everyone together in agreement wishing him a speedy recovery. Hopefully this will be enough of a wake up call that he will change his life style. The stress that he has been under, poor diet, and family history has increased his risk.

I thought I heard 2. They probably won't know for sure until they get in.
I have heard that he is at the hospital with the highest mortality rate for the procedure. Though that could be them just specializing in high risk patients.

The number that I have heard most often is 4. The final determination will be made during the surgery. He is supposed to be operated on today. I have had him in my prayers today. I ask for wisdom for the doctors and nurses that they will be given wisdom during the surgery and aftercare.
Update he is now out of surgery and in recovery. He had a quadruple bypass operation, four vessels. As Dr. Timothy Johnson said, "He is 90% out of the wood, the next 24 hours is critical. Will be watching for bleeding and infection." This is major surgery, he will need 6 - 8 weeks for a full recovery.
