How long ago: was your surgery? Was it yesterday or 6 weeks ago? Were there any complications? The easiest thing to do would be to call your surgeon and ask when you could fly.

Usually: Laparascopic surgery usually is not a contraindication for flying, BUT you need to ask the surgeon, as each person and each case is different. Specific surgeries for example, scopes of the joints/knees etc, may give you a mildly increased risk of Blood clots, and flying as well can be a risk for same. It is important to ask the surgeon and it is always recommended to stay active on a flight.
