I had surgery on a Monday and I drove home from San Diego to LV on Thursday. You'll be fine.

I was told i could drive as long as I was off pain meds.

You can drive as long as your off of your pin meds and is feeling fine, I would still use a pillow between your incisions and the seat belt. Good luck my friend.

Cupcake, I used a small comforter in between my stomach and the seat belt when we were going home but my mother was driving.

I'll do the same when I drive

Thanks everyone! <3

My doctor said he'd let me know at my two week appointment if I could drive yet.

Rules from my surgeon were that I had to be off the pain medication and I could forcefully push the brake pedal without pain.

I also do not recommend putting anything between you and the seatbelt while driving. Mentioned this to a friend of mine back when I had my surgery (she is an EMT) and says it has the possibility of reducing the effectiveness of your seatbelt.

I got Unjury chicken Soup flavor and I swear it taste just like chicken soup. Also you can check out Syntrax Nectar they have a lot is good flavors. I'm on my pre-op diet this week and have surgery on Tuesday.
