How long does it take to heal the sternum after coronary bypass?

In the absence of infection or any other complication, the sternum will be fused enough to resume light activity in 6-8 weeks. Absolutely no strenuous activity or heavy lifting should take place until 6 months after surgery. Consult your physician regarding long-term Weightlifting guidelines. Most heart patients should never lift more than 50 lbs. regardless of how long they are post-op. This puts undue stress on the sternum and on the heart itself.
