A member asked:

How soon can a 60 year old fly after gallbladder surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Next day: If the surgery went without complications and person does not have significant discomfort and he needs to fly, there are no contraindications. If you can easily delay the flight it is always wise to be close to the surgeon who performed the surgery.
