What Could Be The Possible Length Of Duration For An Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair Generally Take ?

I have had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair and I don't have much of a appetite and generally I don't feel as good as I did before my surgery. My incision was also infected and I am taking Clindamycin 150 mg 3 capsules three times a day. I understand that it may take as long as 8 weeks for a full recovery. I had my surgery on 11/19/13. Is the length of my recovery normal?

Hi,
The time for recovery depends upon the severity of the disease and the ease with which the repair was done. As you had developed infection perhaps there is a delay in recovery. Watch for renal and lower limb function.
