When could you drive after Gastric bypass

  • *
  • ummm. this is a question for the doc, you insomniac!!!! <don't you EVER sleep????>

    after the lap, i wasn't supposed to drive for pretty close to a week, but that wasn't practical and i was driving - very very short distances - in about 4 days.

    i have no idea what people who have open need to do!!!! but you'll find out. i KNOW you will!!!!!
  • I had surgery last Thursday and drove my truck which is stick shift, manual transmission on Tuesday, so for me 5 days. The first day I drove about 25 miles 1 way and then the next day it was 58 miles round trip. Maybe I'm the abnormal I had lap and also am not suppose to be driving, hasn't been cleared yet by the doc, but feel great and not on any pain meds.
  • Hey Pookie...I did what my doctor said...it was either ten days or two weeks...I can't remember which!
