Hi I go under the knife on September 8 and have the jitters! Does anyone know how soon you can drive after surgery?

Surgeon will let you know...if it's laparoscopic it won't be long after surgery. Also, no driving while on pain meds were my post op orders. I wasn't in a lot of pain do I was driving soon after I got home.

I'm scheduled for surgery on September 15th..my surgeon told me at least 10 days

Ten days? Wow. My daughter will be with me for a week...I have surgery on Sept. 9th, but I live alone and hope I can drive sooner than that.

My doctor said as soon as I was off pain meds...however they are all different. Best wishes to you!!

Hi I'm scheduled for Sept 8....emotional rollercoaster here for sure!

Hi, I'm new... Scheduled for September 10th and I'm freaking out a little too!

Good luck to everyone! I am 5 weeks post-op so I remember well what you are going through. I know now that there is no way I would have ever lost this weight without the surgery. It is definitely a commitment - but worth it to finally be on a path of solid weight loss. Enjoy the journey.

my doc said as long as u r not taking pain meds cuz the meds do make u feel like u r hallucinating ( well-that's how I felt). After 4 days I didn't need it. Check with ur doc.
