A member asked:
Is it safe for me to travel after laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis?

Yes: The only risk is missing an injury caused by the operation. After a few days, most injuries such as injury to bowel, bladder, or blood vessels will have become evident. If you are doing well several days after surgery, you can travel without worry.

Depends: If your surgery was done as an outpatient and you don't have to do a lot of lifting, riding as a passenger should be ok. If you are planning to drive yourself, i don't recommend driving if you are taking narcotic pain medicine.

After healing: We like to do a post op check up at about 2 weeks after surgery before feeling safe about travel.

Yes: However depending on the extent of the surgery, i usually recommend 3 days.
