Foot Surgeon will advise you.
This depends on type of foot surgery. Some you can walk immediately if not placing stress on repair. Many are up to 6-8 weeks before full weight without protection. You need to discuss this with surgeon performing procedure. Good luck.
Completely depends on the type of surgery. If it's a bone fusion, 8 weeks. If a soft tissue procedure, usually about 4 weeks. Ask your doctor. He will probably make you wear a cast or boot for 4 weeks as well.
