I am having a thymectomy this week and curious about what to expect post-op. What is recovery like?

Answer 1

The recovery period and the time away from regular activities, like work or school, will vary depending on the patient's weakness, type of surgery, and the type of the patient activities. A patient who does heavy lifting or construction work will be off work longer than someone who has a desk type job. In general, 3 to 6 weeks of limited activities is a common length of time for recovery.
