After having surgery to have a sent put inside you the recovery is usually around 24 hours at most and then you can usually be discharged from the hospital within 24 hours after you have the stent put in.

But when you get home from the hospital you'll need to take it easy for at least a week or two to recover fully from the sent surgery.

Within 2 to 3 weeks you should feel much better and be able to get back to your normal activities after the stent procedure.
