You can start driving once you are off of the narcotic pain killers and feel comfortable behind the wheel. When I say comfortable, I mean that you feel like you would be able to handle a vehicle of that size in the worst case scenerio of an accident. You would think that driving isn't a big deal, but you actually use more stomach muscles than you realize. Are you open or laproscopic? That will make a big difference. Good luck to you!

You can drive when your dr oks it. If he tells you not to drive and you do and then you get into an accident you may bear a much higher liability. Your employer likely will not let you resume working until your doctor releases you anyways.

Hi Amanda.......I do not know anout your Scott and White Insurance, but I do know that Medicare, being your Primary, will pay 80& of your surgery, doctor and hospital bills. Your secondary Insurance will or SHOULD pay the remainder of everything else. Good Luck and keep in touch.

Hi Hon do like I did and just call them. If they say yes ask what you will need to do to get approved. Good Luck
