When you are up walking around frequently your surgeon will likely discontinue.All the best!
In my practice we ask our patientsto wear compression stockings for two full weeks after surgery. However, I suggestconsulting your own surgeon on this matter as different surgeons have differentpost-op recommendations. Best regards.
