I'm scheduled for surgery on 9/11. I'm supposed to fly to NY from FL on 10/12 for my cousins wedding. I have to go. Will I be ok 4 weeks out? Or should I change my surgery date til after?

Yes! You will be fine.. I flew non-stop from San Diego to Baltimore one week after my surgery and I was good to go!!

Hell, at 4 weeks I was out running, doing yardwork, etc......

Best of Luck!!

Lol. Great to hear. The only thing that stinks is I'm going to be in Little Italy in NY and won't be able to eat. Ughhhh. Great timing on my part.

Hola, I had my surgery on the 6th Of August In Mexico and travelled back to Chile a 12 hour flight on the 11th of August 2012. You will be just fine.

Prada.

I had my surgery on may 23rd then flew from San Diego to Springfield, Mo with a stop in Dallas on the 26th. Not a problem.

I was told if I take any long trips, or sit for more than 2 hours to get up and walk around every 2 hours to prevent blood clots as you are still in a healing process.
