Robin Williams' smooth surgery and now recovering

Oscar winner Robin Williams had surgery and now recovering at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.

A statement was released by Robin's rep from cardiothoracic surgeon via TMZ:
"Mr. Williams' operation went extremely well and we expect him to make a full recovery. The 3 1/2 hour heart surgery was conducted to replace his aortic valve, repair his mitral valve, and correct his irregular heart beat.

His heart is strong and he will have a normal heart function in the coming weeks with no limitations on what he'll be able to do.

A couple of hours after surgery, he was entertaining the medical team and making us laugh."
Expected to make a complete recovery from his recent heart surgery in the next two months and plans to resume his comedy tour.

Robin Williams announced the postponement of his one-man comedy tour "Weapons of Self-Destruction" to "undergo surgery for an aortic valve replacement."

Prayers and fast recovery to the funny man.
