How long did you girls get told to wear the compression Stockings? The nurse at preston first trust told me 5 days, the nurse with mya said upto a week if possible. And have read lots of different stories online. I had my surgery a week ago tomoz, is it safe to remove them for good now? Theyre driving me nuts haha xxx

I took mine off when I left the hospital. Wasn’t told to keep them on lol. But I’d listen to your surgeon if I were you and keep on as long as recommended. X

Yip sophie you get them on before the op, its so blood cant pool in the veins of the legs while under anaesthetic and after, causing blood clots. youve to wear them for a while after the op. My legs are finally free haha they are awful!
