A member asked:
I was told to not fly for two weeks after removing a polyp during a colonoscopy. is this really necessary? i have a business trip planned in 4 days.

Probably not: If your colonoscopy was without incident, uneventful, and if your recovery has been that way also, I believe you should be able to go to your business trip. However, please let your doctor know about this and take his advice also.
