My surgery date is May 28th, will I be able to drive by the 31st?

See how you feel.. I think my doc said wait a full week. If you are on pain meds still then they suggest waiting a full 24 hours after the last dose you take. I didn't drive for about 10 days after, but could have after probably 5ish.

Hi ShrinkingBiker, it is Veruca. You can start driver as long as you are not on pain killer anymore.

I was told no driving for 2 weeks. I would say no matter how you feel you should not. You will definitely still have open, healing wounds and GOD forbid something happens while u driving u can get really hurt. That's just my two cents, better safe than sorry!!

My doc said 1 week. Not because I would be unable to drive, but because if there was an accident and your steering wheel and air bag hit your stomach it could cause serious damage to your surgery.

I was sleeved on 5/1 and driving by 5/3, so yes it's possible.

I was sleeved May 7 and driving by May 11th. That was when I no longer needed pain meds all the time. If you have to take pain meds you shouldn't drive.

I was a week after I stopped my pain meds. And I drive a semi for a living.Good luck and prayers!
