	Care of Your Surgical Leg :


If your surgery involved taking a bypass graft from your leg, follow these guidelines :


		Care for your leg incision as described above.

		Avoid sitting in one position or standing for prolonged periods of time.
		Elevate your leg on a stool or coffee table when sitting. You can also lie on a couch and elevate your legs on the arm of the couch.
