It seems like the recovery time stories differ greatly, which is probably to be expected.
Do the people who need extended cardio rehab after surgery have more heart issues pre-surgery? If you are symptomatic for a relatively long time pre-surgery, does that make recovery more difficult?
Also, if you do not have any enlargement or other issues pre-surgery, does that make the recovery easier?
I'm going to find out in about 2 weeks what the surgeons recommend as far as timing for AVR surgery, but am still asymptomatic with a 1cm aortic valve. I think the extended time for some people to reach full recovery is starting to worry me as much as the prospect of surgery.
