I am trying to schedule a date for surgery but travel a lot for business. Long overseas trips. How long until you can fly post op and how do you feel 3 weeks out

Would hate to be in a long haul and sick

My dr said at least 4 weeks, he said the only time that he has ever had problems post op was when he had a patient fly to early after surgery and got a blood clot

I was cleared to fly 6 weeks after to go to Disney. Biggest concert of theirs was that I got up and walked to prevent blood clots. everything went just fine.

You should check in the self pay/Mexico forum. Most folks who go to Mexico for surgery have to fly there and back.

My doc was fine with flying as long as I got up during the flight every couple of hours. I returned to work this week and first thing, hopped on a plane. I had no problems- I am three weeks out. I had a harder time with finding food I could eat than the plane. I also had a colleague with me so they helped with my bags. Good luck!

I went to Mexico to have mine done. I had surgery on march 6 and flee home on march 9. I was very scared to fly after surgery but it was just fine.
