Depends: This is a conversation that you need to have with your surgeon. It will depend entirely on the type of surgery you have, how well it goes, how quickly you heal, etc.

Surgery: This depends on the specific type of surgery that you will be having -- this is a great question to ask your surgeon at a pre-operative visit.

Talk to your Surgeon: Because of the vast number and types of foot surgeries, this is a difficult to answer without knowing the type of surgery. You should talk to your surgeon about this and any questions you have before consideration of any surgery.
