It is possible to experience a decrease in circulation to the feet after stomach surgery, especially if there are complications such as blood clots or circulation issues. It is important to monitor for signs of decreased circulation, such as coolness or paleness of the feet, numbness or tingling, and pain or swelling in the legs or feet. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately. Maintaining good overall circulation through proper post-operative care, including staying active, wearing compression stockings if recommended, and following any other specific instructions given by your healthcare team, can help prevent complications and promote healing.
