Barbara Walters, the 80 year old creator of "The View", announced yesterday that she will be taking time off from the show for surgery to replace a heart valve. Her leave of absence will begin later this week, and it is not clear when Walters is expected to return. The recovery process can be difficult, and the time it takes really depends on the situation and the individual. It is expected that Walters will take one to three months to recover from the surgery. The show will be taking a break in July, and will be on hiatus in August, prompting Walters to choose now as an appropriate time to take care of her heart issues. Walters said that she has known about the problem for "Many months".
