I meet with my surgeon on Tuesday but does anyone know the answer to these questions?

How soon after surgery can I drive?

Will I have a drain after my laparoscopic rny?

Will I wake up with a catheter?

My doc said to avoid driving as much as possible for the first month, but absolutely no driving the first week.

Doc said they use drains if necessary, but don't use them always.

depending on how much meds you were given,, you may wake up with a catheter. my doc says he tries to have them removed beforee we wake up.

of course this is only what my doc does...different docs follow different protocol.

Obviously a lot of variety depending on the surgeon so I'll add more!

No driving for at least 48 hours post-op and while on pain meds. After my lap-band and then band removal I was driving short distances by day 4....

Almost always have catheter out when you wake up, he wants you walking to the potty ASAP!

Usually no JP drain but not always.

More confused then ever now huh? :)

Yea the said you walk the first day with your catheter the driving I think they just don't want you to put pressure on you stomach this is major surgery and takes time to heal and if your on any pain meds you can't drive

Awesome!!! I got the clear juice type flavors....they are expensive as heck but will start trying em out later this week. I'm hoping I can mix 1/2 a bottle with crystal light so it's somewhat hidden behind the crystal light flavoring....Hoping!!! 1/2 bottle is 20 grams of Protein so post op, if its tolerable, I can sip

It all day as my fluids...maybe, if I don't hate it :/. Do you have other options or is this what he requires??

      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.
