Driving after da Vinci?
Hello. I had a da Vinci hys last Thursday. The doc said I can drive when I can brake quickly without pain. I think I can do that.... Any ideas on how long to wait to drive? I have no belly pain anymore. All my soreness is in my pubic area from my sling. Thanks.

Re: Driving after da Vinci?
I had a Divinci and bladder sling and posterior repair. My doc said three weeks to drive. But you will find a variety if different answers as it seems everyone's doc is on a different time table and doesn't five the same advise. Best of luck.

Re: Driving after da Vinci?
My dr said I could drive as long as I wasn't on pain meds, no restrictions. However. I haven't driven yet, I think I could tho!

My Dr didn't say I couldn't drive so I drove to the store right near my house 3 days after and Mc Donalds close to my house 5 days after.
