A member asked:

How long it will take to recover after bypass surgery? is saying any bad news bad for the health of the patient?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Months, variable: Everyone is different. A lot depends on age, severity of illness and degree of vigor vs. frailty. On average younger people can expect to be back at full strength in 2-3 months. Over age 70, it is more like 3-4 months. The stronger you are going in to surgery, the quicker the recovery. It varies from person to person.
