With my daughter's first surgery (she was 1) we used the restraints. We would take them off when we were able to keep a close eye on her though.
She didn't really put things in her mouth either.
But with the 2nd surgery (she was 3) we didn't use them except for at night, and that was my decision because I didn't want her to mess up anything in her sleep.
Hope all goes well!
