In the very near future I'm having valve replacement surgery. I haven't yet been told the risks or the recovery period, does anyone know the risks or the recovery stages and how long recovery takes?
Valve replacements actually have very low morality rates like 1-2%. There are always risk's with surgery though, such as blood clots or irregular heart rate. The recovery in the hospital is generally 5-7 days, and then it can take anywhere from 8 weeks to a year to feel recovered.
