I am having a laproscopic banded plication on 9/29 and was wondering what restrictions on driving you had post-op? When were you allowed to drive again?

I had bypass and was able to drive after two weeks. Not sure what is expected in your situation.

I was driving as soon as I got off my pain meds--4 days? Hell, not supposed to drive for 6 weeks after a c-section. Tell that to the mom of 3 whose husband left for China the day after the last was born! (Um yeah, me, and he was gone for 3 weeks!!). You do what you need to do...

For any surgery I've had it's always been when you're not taking narcotic pain meds. Medically, that's at least four hours after the last dose. When I was working in the hospital, a patient could not legally sign anything within four hours of narcotics or anesthesia.
