LadyK 164 Posted September 18, 2012 My surgery is not until the 27th, but I was told at least a week, and that someone should drive me to my first follow up appointment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scaredoftheunknown 95 Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks. I was told that no restrictions as long as it wasn't an hour drive and I was no longer on pain medication. My surgery was on 9/13. I want to be able to take my son to school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samomom 19 Posted September 19, 2012 The post op papers say 24 hours, but you will be too tired. I drove 3 days later. I had to get my kids somewhere. It was fine. Felt good to move and get out of the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
