Generally they tell you three months off work of all kinds, even office work. I had bypass surgery February 2005, (56 year old female) but I have never been able to get back to my office work, my health is too poor, as I have ischeamic heart disease and now Diastolic Heart Failure has developed as well. But you make the best of life and just get on with it. I know others who had bypass surgery who went back to work easily. A lot depends of your general fitness pre-surgery and the level of your heart disease. Coronary Artery Disease is not cured by having bypass surgery, but it SAVES YOUR LIFE, so you've got to do it and put up with the consequences, because the other alternative is a life-ending heart attack usually.

It really depends what you've had done. Was it bypass surgery or valve replacement/repair?
You need to take it easy for a while. Also, you need to do some Cardiac Rehabilitation... talk to your Cardiologist or your Cardiac Surgeon.

My mother had open heart surgery about 15 years ago. She was told that she could not drive for 2 weeks. She drove her car to the store after a week and was in major pain. I think she was back to work after 3 weeks but she had an office job. I would say that you would need at least 2 months off for the kind of work you do. I am not a doctor so this is just a guess. Good Luck with your surgery!
