Compression socks

The hospital told me to take them off before I left hospital (24 hours from my op). 
i suspect it’s decided on a case by case basis. 

I was told 24 hours. x 

I was told 6 weeks!! 

Does it depend on op maybe? Age/BMI etc

I had mastectomy/immediate reconstruction 

40 with healthy BMI, so I'm not sure

I think it depends on how active you are after surgery and how well you are recovering. I didn't wear any when I got home and regretted it as my feet did swell quite a bit. I bought some after 2 days and probably wore them for another week until everything had settled down.

It does semms long time ago. How mobile are you Hun 

l would check with your BC nurse x

When I had my hip replaced, I was advised to wear them until I had achieved normal levels of mobility. When I had a lumpectomy I was up and about normally the next day so I guess it depends on the nature of your surgery and recovery.
