glitta114 6 Posted April 19, 2013 How soon after the surgery are you able to walk up and down stairs? My procedure is 4/24 but I have stairs where I live Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigmachik 403 Posted April 19, 2013 I walked up and down stairs on the very day of my surgery. I was walking a little slowly, but really didn't have any issues with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melody2 61 Posted April 19, 2013 I was able to use the stairs 2 days post op....just take it slow and make sure you have someone to assist the first time, especially if you're taking any pain meds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharonintx 1,275 Posted April 19, 2013 In the recovery room I was in right after surgery there were some stairs outside my door. I was walking up and down them within 5 hours post op to go check on some other ladies that just had surgery. It was kinda awkward carrying the IV with me but the stairs were no problem.
