I wouldn't recommended it cause the pain from surgery and endoscopy can be hazardous. Every reacts differently to anesthetic procedures it can give you headaches, short of breath and not to mention sleepiness. So proceed with caution cause waking up to see yourself in an accident or handcuffs is not something I would chance after having a general anesthesia procedure.

If the doc says you need a ride, you should adhere to the rule, even if you don't feel like technically need it. I can only imagine your reflex wouldn't be all that great after anesthesia if someone was about to run you off the road though. Best to be careful and get a ride. I was too tired and loopy after having an endoscopy (non wls related) and had to have my ride.
