“How long after heart transplant surgery can you resume physical activities?”

while this is not my specialty, but most patients post any cardiac surgery will need to be on a Cardiac rehab program which will ease them to normal physicial activities.

The most important concerns in healing from a heart transplant are: 1. rejection, 2. infection, 3. healing of the beast-bone. Your docotrs will alter the medicines quite specifically and frequently over the first few months to minimize the risk of the first two concnerns. The third concern will be eliminated in about 8 weeks. It takes a bit longer to heal the breast bone after transplant because of the steroids, which are administered after transplant. Certainly, walking every day is important from the beginning. Light weightlifting with dumbells is usually okay. More specific recommendations are on an individual basis from your surgeon.
