Brief Answer: a couple of weeks Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Sorry, but Dr. XXXXXXX is not available for now, so I am answering your query. After vascular reconstruction or bypass surgery, about 10-12 days of postoperative stay should be there, if there are no complications. And if everything goes fine, he should be walking in 2 weeks. Hope, I have been helpful. Regards Dr. Ashish Verma
