[|Human|] my mom who is 58 years old will be having a triple bypass, how long will her recovery be. she is not a smoker or a drinking but has high cholesterol issues and high blood pressure. Does someone of this age have a better chance at no complications then someone older who drinks, smokes and has other health issues
[|AI|]  If everything is well, your mom should be out from ICU in 3-5 days at home by max a week and regular life by 3 weeks.  However, she will be able to move about and perform all her activities by a weeks end. For sure the risk of complications are less in someone like your mom than in some someone who smokes because the lungs are healthy making it easier to wean off ventilator also lungs not completely expanding, and secondary infection are the most common reason for prolonged recovery which will be minimal in your mom.  All the best for the bypass.  Regards Chat Doctor.
