I had heart surgery last May, and you start to feel better about a week after you get home. Because we all know that nobody can truly rest in the hospital. But your sternum won't heal until 12months after the date of you surgery. But you can normally resume to normal activity after 6-8months.(running, biking, swimming, etc.) Just remember to be careful until your 12 months are up. Also remember, don't lift more than 10 pounds until 4months after your surgery because you put yourself at risk of opening your chest back up. Hope this helped!
