As long as you're not on pain medication you're fine at this point.

As long as you are no longer on the narcotic pain meds.  If you are taking tylenol - no problem.

I drove about a week after surgery. Stomach was still tender so had to be careful with seatbelt placement and made sure I wasn't too close to the steering wheel.

Just make sure you feel well and are not on pain meds.

I agree about the pain medication..just make sure the seatbelt is not irritating the suture sites

prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss. 

life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!.  Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!
