Can I drive after???

[auditt]

Hi,
This is a question on behalf of a friend of mine...

I am going to have amedical operation, a abdomnoplasty (a tummy tuck) in August of this year.

I want to know when will I be able to start driving again after the operation..Is it the same lengthof time as after a C section, 6 weeks?

Many thanx on behalf of my friend.

Most patients are advised to avoid activities such as work and driving for 10 � 14 days. Full recovery can take up to six weeks.

I would have thought if the operation is that close, your friend would have asked the surgeon that question by now.

Generally after any big op it is 6 weeks, for insurance purposes, I know this was what it was for my BF after he had a big operation last year, and also for a friend who had a hernia op this year

It might be better to ask "when can I take up exercise again?"

[fine,thanks]

mmm. maybe the surgeon would be able to answer this question ?
