Good Evening,

I was wondering about steps, I have 20 steps to get into my apartment......My surgery is July 18th is this going to be a problem?

Hello, I was actually told upon release that steps were good, just take them slow. After surgery, you're going to walk as much as you can. Main reason is to help you expel the gas (CO2 they pump into your body cavity) and it also helps in the healing process. Good luck!!

I was told that I must take one step at a time, as in both feet to one step, pause and take the next. Have only been back down my steps once so far but it was okay

You should be ok, steps are good. I had to do about 10 steps to get into my home and on the level I was staying. Just go slow and take your time
