I don't think you can do that because you're out under general anesthesia which makes most people relatively groggy. You may could drive yourself to the hospital, but very seriously doubt they'd let you leave alone.

You will not be allowed to drive home, you will be on pain meds. You are not allowed to drive until you stop taking your pain meds. I drove 2 days later, because i had to, and it was hard i held a pillow over my tummy, then as soon as i got home from the store i took my pain meds. It was tough but i got threw it

Hello everyone! Today is day one of my Clear Liquids pre op. I have to be at hospital at 5:30 am on Tueday. My pantry is stalked and my bag is packed. Now i just have to keep busy so i dont think about food. I did notice that i get full quickly since going through the two weeks of Protein Shakes. I have lost about ten pounds so far. Today i want to take my measurements to record the progress. I will definately continue to post before and after surgery.

Day 2 post op. I cried most of the first day because they kept saying that they were giving pain medication....but yet the pain was still there. Aparently they repaired a hernia i knew nothing about and that added to the pain. No gas pain in shoulder or anywhere else..just a little insician pain and stomach area pain. Once they finally gave me morphin i could sleep. Today is better than yesterday though and despite the pain....i was able to walk 3 times in the hallway and drink a fair amount of liquids. Glad this part is over.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
