If i had carotid artery surgery, what is the expected recovery time?

Fast: Really depends if you have pre or post procedure stroke or mini stroked which should be unusual . Most probably of everything goes well you can be home next day of surgery and active going to work within a week if pain is controlled

Well tolerated.: After surgery, you may stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days. Because the neck incision is usually small, you may not feel significant pain. After you go home, your physician may recommend that you avoid driving and limit physical activities for several weeks. You can usually begin normal activities again anywhere from 2-6 weeks after the operation. Most 2-4 weeks.
