How long until you could drive again?

My doc hasn't given me paperwork on the recovery, wondering how many days until you were able to drive, I need to take my daughter to/from school.

I was driving and working on day 3. Just called and asked for a release. It depends on u and your doctor but I would ask.

I was driving the next day because I was feeling fine. The only problem is when you lean forward to see in your side mirror when changing lanes, that is very painful on the incisions!

so be careful about that!!!

I drove to Breakfast and had coffee and Water next morning without any discomfort. Then later that night I drove to my first weight reduction seminar in my hometown on people who have had procedures post op. My dietitian who I saw prior to surgery introduced me and was amazed on how I was doing less than 24 hours later. I felt fine and felt welcomed. Some ladies there who were thinking about a procedure were amazed at my lapband recovery.

Yes, when you no longer need to take narcotic pain medications, you can drive, is what I was told.
