Recovery: Usually after disconnected from any special lines. Usually observed for 24 hours and then home. Pretty easy recovery

Sooner the better.: It's best to mobilize as soon as you can after any operation. Doctors usually clear you to get out of bed as soon as possible, and once you're home from the hospital it would be fine to walk gingerly a few times a day at least. Prevents complications like blood clots and pneumonia.
