How soon I'll feel like travelling after surgery

[Harpo 30]

May go on Spring Break with my kids 2-3 weeks after surgery. Spring break will be lots of time in the pool & hot tub. Will I be ok?

I wasn't allowed to 'soak' for a month post op. check with your doc. I say you might be a little more tired than usual, but you should be ok!

Incisions have to be completely healed before tub, etc. I am 2 1/2 weeks out and would love to start traveling again. My doc said it was ok I just don't have the energy. Hope to by Mardi Gras!

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and I still don't like the hour drive to the surgeon's office. Also agree with poster above. You won't be allowed into a pool or hot tub yet. Incisions will not be completely healed. I still have steristrips on some of mine and some of them still burn. Discuss with your own doctor what to do. Never take your advice from the internet where you will get a thousand different answers and none of them from a doctor.

For about 5 weeks I had the sh!ts really bad so you might go off food before being stuck in a seat. Other than that I doubt any big deal. People fly back home when they have it done in Mexico at less than 5 days all the time.
