Hello Mary, I believe it depends on the type of vacation you're planning.

At 8 weeks post-op, I wouldn't want to be hauling a lot of luggage at the airport or planning a lot of mountain hiking or downhill skiing!

As always, check with your doctor.

I have no answer for you, but I'd be leery. I just had mine on Feb 2, and have to fly cross-country in mid-May. Even that 3.5 months is making me nervous, but I'm sure unnecessarily so.

My PS told me that 6 weeks was the marked spot when you feel back to normal.

8 weeks should be fine unless you develop complications. Bear in mind that the first month is hard and you probably won't be able to stand upright. By week 6 you should feel relatively normal and able to gym etc. Remember to protect your scars from the sun for the first year.
