Why would that happen? I'm not sure I'm understanding the question perhaps.

It might be a bit uncomfortable right after surgery with bumps and potholes and stuff but it should be fine. I had no restrictions with driving after surgery except to not drive while I was on pain meds.

Try not to worry. Youve got cushion on the inside.

Nope, i don't think that can affect your band at all!

My Dr told me no driving for 2 weeks, I think he is crazy, but ultimately the concern is making sure everything settles inside properly and that if you in an accident after surgery there are concerns that you had an internal operation, the inflation from the gas, etc... something else about the airbags too and thats why being a passanger isnt and issue... Me i drove to the drop some stuff off the other day probably 10 miles and was really uncomfortable doing it...
