How long do you have to keep surgical stockings on for?

[Owllady]

I had gynae surgery on Wednesday morning under GA, an hour op and I was discharged 3 hours later
GA appears to have worn off etc but I'm still resting up, just taking gulag paracetamol
What are the actual guidelines 're the stockings?
I'm overweight and do have a family history of blood clots
Thank you anyone who will know!

I had the injections for 10 days too. I was told I could take them off if I was out and about one day... With DD7 and a newborn DS I think I am more active than before! But am keeping them on for 6 weeks because I get paranoid.

DD who is 7

I've had two sections and never been told to wear surgical stockings - they took they off me as part of my discharge xx

I am just recovering from an ERPC that I had yesterday. Does anybody know when I can start working out again?
