Cardiac bypass rehab

[krausaj]

I underwent triple cardiac bypass surgery up north, a little over a week ago. If my cardiologist and surgeon clear me for travel, we plan to head south to TV on the 18th of this month. I plan to begin cardiac rehab soon after our arrival.

My activities consist mainly of golf and swimming, and I'm interested in finding out if anyone has advice as to how I can return to these sports ASAP.

Thank you for your suggestions.
