Hi, just wondering if I would be able to drive myself home the next day after surgery

No because you will still have anesthesia in your system and you may be a danger to yourself or others,even if you do not feel "loopy".I was banded and had imbrication (stomach folding and suturing) and did it on an outpatient basis and still my surgeon would not let me drive myself home.This is just not safe for you to do.

You are soooo not going to want to!!

I am driving myself to the hospital because my hubby needs to be here to get my children off to school, but he will meet me there as soon as they are on the bus. I was told now way will they let me leave on my own.

Yea,they won't. You're midsection will be hurtin and those bumps in the road are unpleasant enough!

Seriously, don't do it. It's like drinking and driving. You don't know your high but you are really really high. Even 24 hours later. Hire a town car if you have to. I took a taxi and lucked out and got someone kind.

It is a very weird feeling. Please dont do it.

Thanks everyone, i will arrange for a ride

Cool
