It depends on your individual situation and the type of surgery you had.
Walking After Laparoscopic Appendectomy
- Typically, you can walk around the day after laparoscopic appendectomy.
- You may experience some discomfort, but walking is encouraged to help prevent blood clots and promote healing.
- Your doctor will advise you on how much activity is safe for you.
Walking After Open Appendectomy
- You may need to wait a few days before walking after open appendectomy.
- This is because the incision is larger, and you may have more pain and swelling.
- Your doctor will provide specific instructions on when you can start walking and how much activity is safe.
It's important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and listen to your body. If you experience any unusual pain or discomfort, contact your doctor immediately.
