Driving an Automibile



Recommended Posts

I drove after 10 days. Just make sure that the seat is adjusted and if your e-brake requires you to bend over and pull, you do that before you get into the car. The bending and stretching to do those things can make you sore. However, no problem driving.

I had surgery on a Thursday, was driving on Monday and back to work on Tuesday. It definitely depends on how you feel and if you can react quickly (if needed) without hesitation while driving.

I drove 4 days after. Doctor just said be careful with driving and taking Meds.

Thanks guys, surgery was this past Monday and I have some places to be tomorrow. Pain meds no longer a concern, feeling great. Appreciation to those whom responded.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
