How long before you were able to drive after bypass surgery?

For me, it was just a few days but I think they suggest a week. Mostly, it was once I was off the pain meds.

I drove the day after I was released from the hospital.

I drove two days after I was released from the hospital, but you can drive the following day as long as you are not on any pain medication.

My doc said a week, but I drove 5 days after. If you go home the day following your surgery, however, you will want to wait a day or two to make sure all of the anesthesia has cleared your system. Don't want to be under the influence from that or pain meds.

My doctor said as long as you are not on pain medicine, you can drive.

My doctor will not allow any of his patients to drive for a month after the surgery

I drove after 1 week. It was hard imo, still had lots of stomach discomfort and you use your stomach muscles when driving a lot more than I've ever have thought too
