How long after the surgery were you able to drive? The Doctor only does surgeries on Thursdays and Fridays ad I have two kids that will be in school when I have my surgery and I'm their transportation.

Well, I had a mind to drive after the operation. Trust me, you will NOT want nor be ABLE to drive the day of the operation. 24 hrs later, I felt ok to drive, although the hospital STILL did not want me to. I had to take a cab and do a lap around the block before the driver took me to my car in the lot.

P.S. If you were stopped by the police, you would be at risk of a DWI, if they were to find out you were under general anesthesia in a 24 hr window.

Thank you! The kids may get two free days out of school! Sure they won't mind and it would help me having them help me if I needed it right after surgery

I think it's only a problem if u drive while on pain meds. I didn't want to drive day of or day after but had to drive on day 3

My discharge papers said 3 weeks before I could drive again! After I concluded that was ridiculous I just waited until I stop taking the Lortab now I can drive whenever.

I drove on day 4 a hundred miles to visit the grand daughter. Did not take anything stronger than Tylenol after the first day.

Certainly Not Worth The Risk !
