My MIL had open heart surgery at UAB, when she was 80 and had no recovery problems at all.  Three years later had hip replacement surgery and the surgery went well.  My husband had surgery at St. Vicents and it went well too.  I think a lot depends on the Doctor.  In all cases, I thought the nursing staff was superb.
