It depends: It depends upon the type of surgery and whether there are any postoperative complications. Speak to your surgeon.

Agree: There are multiple factors that only you and your surgeon as a team can determine. Some important considerations will include: 1. What is your job? 2. What kind of operation did you have 3. What if any complications did you have 4. What medications are you taking after surgery? Ultimately, choose a surgeon you trust, so you will follow his/her instructions after surgery.
