Travel restrictions before surgery? I am 5'6", 130 lbs.

rlw0509
I want to get a mommy makeover this summer. I workout 4 times a week, am a teacher, & have 4 kids. I will be traveling overseas later this summer (16 hr flight) and was hoping to have surgery after I return. The first office that I called told me that their policy is no travel 14 days PRIOR to surgery. This significantly affects my ability to get back to work on time. I have not seen much info about this online...any information about travel prior to a TT/BA&BL is appreciated!
