My surgery is scheduled for Feb 27, and I am flying out March 1 at night (so, Feb 27, 28, then March 1). I have already discussed it with my surgeon and he says it will be okay, but now I am wondering if I should drive home (~11 hours) instead of flying, for the best possible healing scenario. Additionally, will it affect my healing if I fly back out a week later for suture removal, and then immediately after? Or should I drive? (I live out of state from my surgeon.) Thank you so much!
