Paul C In my case I was out to dinner within 3 weeks, driving at 5 and in cardiac rehab at 7 weeks. Walking which started two days after the surgery but very slowly helped a lot. Only complication was in and out of aFib, that lasted about 8 weeks, which they said was pretty common. For me quite a bit of research on all the options. It came down to my comfort with the surgeons I met, their teams, and their experience. The best part is I'm off all meds and back to normal, which includes a good amount of exercise. My only concern with Robotics was if they ran into complications, but I know others who have had success and faster recoveries.
Paul- thanks for your suggestion of Dr. Girardi, will meet w/ him shortly.
Glad you're back running, John Deysher
