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?

      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.

    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.
