This is imperative. You must ambulate or else you can get a blood clot and your lungs can stay collapsed at the bases.
Walking is strongly encouraged after any abdominal surgery.
The length of incision determines the time for walking. Some can walk in 2 days
Yes, you can do everything after any surgery when healed. Thx.
