    I had my aortic valve replaced in June 2011. It was mid September before I felt right again. You have to take the initial recovery quite slowly.

      Hello,from what the surgeon said,your experience sounds about right I think.He said I was looking at about 12 weeks ATBE.Did you have OH or min in ? I am surprised that all ops are not MI as the recovery times are so much faster.
