Anyone had Triple Bypass, AortIc Valve replacement & Aortic Root surgery?

Four weeks ago my surgeon told me I needed my bypass surgery fairly urgently. That was a shock and I did not take in the added bit that my aorta valve needs replacing and my aortic rood is ballooned and probably needs replacing all at the same time. He just said it complicates the surgery, but he can do it all. I am waiting for an Aorta CT Scan to start up again then surgery ASAP. Anyone know how long this surgery will take? All three seem to be major on their own. I cannot find anything online for these three being done together. I guess recovery is the same as just a triple bypass.
