if you got surgery on your leg to the point that they cut deep into your leg, you should wait about a month before going on a plane. both surgery, and going on planes can increase and persons risk of getting a blood clot. if you do both, the risk is higher, and because you would be stuck in a plane, far away from the hospital, once you get a blood clot the chances of death are severe. however, if you must go on a plane, and willing to take the chance, i would suggest taking aspirin, because that thins your blood, making the chance of getting a blood clot slimmer, also, walking around the plane every, hmm... id say 30 mins, at most. also, while on the plane, be sure to drink a lot of water. and also, if you would like to know for other times, doing all of these things are good to do for a long plane ride whether you had surgery or not. i would definatly recommend waiting a month, or at the least 3 weeks, before going on a plane, and still do these things when you are on the plane. feel better :)
