How long after the surgery was everyone allowed to drive?

Basically, I was allowed to drive as soon as I stopped taking the pain medication which was about the second day home. It's mostly because you can't drive "while under the influence!"

What kind of pain meds do they put you on?

[esskay77 785]

I don't remember anymore what kind of pain med it was. I do know that they made me nauseous and I realized pretty fast that I really didn't need them anyway. Once I stopped taking them (when I got home), I felt so much better!

I was given hydrocodone/Norco liquid. My surgeon had prescribed me oxycodone pills which I didnt take. I stopped taking the norco at 6 days it made me sleepy & I didnt need it anymore.

I was driving the day after I got out of the hospital. My recovery was very easy though.
