Has anyone had surgery and did not use the compession stockings?

I found out through another patient that the doctor I will be using does not use compression stockings after surgery. I do know that he does prescribe heprian. So, is heprian going to be enough? Is there a reason that he would say not necessary to stockings? Or is heprian enough? I wonder if I can insist on the stockings? What is your input? I know the higher your BMI the higher the risk of blood clots. My bmi is about 59-60. I have no other co-morbids. Thanks
