A: You can fly as soon as you are well enough to travel. When you fly during the first few months after surgery, you should:
-
Get a seat with as much leg room as possible; preferably an aisle seat.
-
Get up and walk every 45–60 minutes.
-
Do your ankle pumps frequently.
-
Be well hydrated.
- Wear your post-op stockings.
By 3 months after surgery, your risk of getting a blood clot is the same as anyone who has not had surgery.
