travelling

[hopeful2 be slim 121]

I was sleeved on 23rd jan. My recovery is fast. I dont feel weak or tired..started office for few hrs.

following doc's orders about walking,having liquids.< /p>

My husband is travelling and I want to go with him.Its an 8 hr journey by road. It is advisable.

I think the biggest issue is sitting for so long (dont' wan't to risk blood clots so close to surgery), as long as you take breaks so you can walk around a bit, I don't see why it would be a problem. A medical professional may differ. Worst case, call your surgeons office, I'm sure they can advise.

Yeah just make sure that you are able to move around a bit. Also a big thing is PREPARE beforetime a plan of what you will be able to eat, bring stuff with you or know where you will be able to get whatever is on your list of foods because it is easy to screw up when you travel and not be as careful so make sure to prepare your menu and have a plan! Enjoy your time with your hubby! Be safe!

It would be better to consult your surgeon. A non-professional suggestion would not do much well if you are in first week post op, and seek to travel.

_{I agree with AllisonKara - it's really up to your surgeon. I know that my surgeon did not want me traveling that far from home for a minimum of 6 weeks.}

then can I take a short flight?

As said before, best to consult your surgeon. I was not allowed to travel at all for 6 weeks. Hope it works out for you.

“Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life,

I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works.

Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.”

A while back there was, IMHO, a really good thread on traveling and helpful hints/tips and experiences. You can try searching for it (and I do hope Karma comes round for you in the best of ways)!
