Examples of postoperative in a Sentence

1. Linus Chuang:

   We wanted to let people know, but we wanted to wait until the patient was really doing well in the postoperative period. And it's been three months, and she's really doing great, luckily, she did not require any additional treatment. She's back to a normal life, she's back to work, and when I saw her in my office, I saw smiles, I saw hope, and I saw a happy woman who is back to her normal life and her family.

2. Alan Rozanski:

   There were studies that consistently found optimists tend to recover from a postoperative surgery or bypass surgery faster. They did tend to survive heart attacks better and faster as well, optimism can be one of the important tools, if you will, to help people cope with illness and medical issues.
