– Increase fluid intake – You need to be drinking at least 8 glasses (8oz) of water a day (Drinking enough water is extremely important in decreasing constipation) – Decrease/stop the narcotics as soon as possible Here are some things you can do to ease constipation: It is caused from the narcotic use during surgery and post-op. Is this normal?Ĭonstipation after surgery is not uncommon. I am experiencing constipation after surgery. We do strongly suggest wearing on the operative leg for two weeks after surgery. We do recommend wearing the compression socks on both legs however, if they are really bothersome, you do not have to wear it on the non-operative leg. Also, be a little more conscious of elevating (remember – toes above the nose). If, after removal, you experience a return of lower leg swelling then return to the hose for several days. The purpose of the TED hose is to reduce or eliminate lower leg swelling. You can stop wearing the compression socks TWO WEEKS from your surgery date. How long should I wear the compression socks after surgery?
