The procedure itself I did not find difficult/painful and yes, you will have to wear a flat surgical shoe for a while afterwards; I think the amount of time you have to wear it after surgery is between your doctor and you. (Depends on how you feel and how quickly you heel.) I cannot wear a heeled shoe over about 2 inches period. I have a hard time getting my foot/toes to "bend" to even get into them. When I do wear a heel it is only for short periods of time - you know a couple of hours while going out to a dressy affair, dinner, etc. My doctor recommended nothing over about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 but you know how difficult it is to find something dressy with a heel that low????? Anyway, again I think the bottom line is it is a personal thing. Would your doctor recommend it - probably not. Mine told me that is probably one of the major reasons I developed bunions in the first place. Can it be done - that depends on you.

Yes, you will be able to. Your feet will be in bandages for a while and if you get both sides done at once you will be using crutches. Eventually, you will be quite normal.
