I wonder when I can start driving. I had my gallbladder removed and sleeve surgery on 2/29 I forgot to ask my Dr when I can start driving.
What were you told or when did you start driving again?

I drove on day 9, a bit over an hour back and forth to the hospital to get my drain removed.
Bring your liquids and snacks with you! Since you can't eat much at a time, even driving will drain you a bit.
I remember sitting in the parking lot eating a few Tbls of yogurt before I drove home because I was so tired..

CFIDS =Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also dx with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve complications). Permanently disabled.
Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.
Thanks everyone. I have a Dr's appointment tomorrow but my Dr is only a half mile or less from my house. So guess I'm good to drive myself.

I started driving with someone with me on Monday. Venturing out by myself today.

I had surgery on Wednesday and waited until Tuesday to drive. I wasn't taking any pain meds other than the q-pump I went home with and that came out Saturday. However, until about Tuesday I was feeling rather tired and a little weak. By Tuesday I felt much stronger and was able to drive without a problem and run a few errands as well.
