What airline are you using? I flew SW. At the gate I told them I just had surgery and they gave me a pre-boarding pass. We were in the second row. I am very short, so leg room is never a problem for me. Also, dress comfortably -- slip on shoes and yoga or sweat pants. You will be fine! Also, I would suggest you get up a couple do times to use the bathroom even if you don't need to to keep you legs moving. I also flexed and pointed my toes occasionally throughout the flight. Good luck!
