my doc said i could drive when i went off the pain meds. so for me, it was day 5 after surgery. just be careful that you don't have to make any quick stops !

Same for me. I drove 3 days after surgery and I was fine. As long as I'm not taking the narcotic painkillers, then my doc said I'm ok to drive.

My doc said 4 days (till the anesthesia wears off) and after your off the pain meds for a couple days.

I had surgery on the 16th and drove this morning, Of course i was not taking any pain meds or anything, but I think it depends on how you are feeling. I also used a flat pillow for cushion between me and the seat belt for comfort. Good luck to you on your upcoming surgery!
