I'm assuming you mean right after the surgery (and not a year later)? Right after a surgery, your body is more susceptible to infections, so (I assume) the risk of TSS goes up.

You can, I had one and they never told me any such thing. And I've been using them for 20+years now since the surgery and I'm nothing has happened.

who told you that? most abdominal surgeries induce vaginal bleeds, and a tampon is intended for that purpose...
