Do you have to be on bed rest after surgery?

It depends on the type of surgery you have. Some surgeries require you to stay in bed for a period of time afterwards, while others allow you to get up and move around more quickly. For example, after a major abdominal surgery, you may be required to stay in bed for several days. However, after a minor surgery, such as a mole removal, you may be able to go home the same day and resume your normal activities the next day. Your doctor will give you specific instructions about your activity level after surgery.

It's important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully to avoid complications and promote healing.
