“How long does it take to recover from heart valve surgery?”

That is going to depend on your health and activity level before surgery. The healthier you are and the more active you are the shorter recovery time is. Usually they will have you up moving the day of or day after surgery. Overall recovery time is going to depend on your participation in cardiac rehab and diet and medication compliance. you can control your recovery time by being as active and eating as healthy as possible. within the guidelines of the discharge orders you are given. Good Luck!
