Work Travel

Getting closer!!
I am scheduled for my implant on October 9th. A work trip just came up that I really need to get to if possible. Those implanted, can I realistically take a flight and be in meetings for two days, 10 days after implant?

You could possibly recover fast enough if you are young and strong....but my opinion is that 10 days post-op you could be on zoom calls or Teams.....but unless your going to concoct a cover story (or tell people you had implant surgery) you will need a reason why you are attending that meeting in pajama pants with a frozen bag of peas down your pants. I intentionally did the surgery in-between jobs because I did not want to take this chance....so I would get out of that business trip ....or reschedule the surgery. (but I'm not young and strong)

It all depends. Some guys are fine. Others, like me, so much. I had a grapefruit sized hematoma that didn’t start going down until about 14 days out.

I don't think there's any way to predict with certainty. I'm 58 but I'm a fast healer and in good shape. 14 days post op I traveled by plane for a 3 day conference and did just fine. A little sore and uncomfortable but I managed and no one said a word. If you're a fast healer, maybe you'll be fine... no way to know for sure though.

Thanks for the replies. Zoom is out as well as showing up some frozen peas… lmao
I am 57 and seem to be a quick healer. I booked the flight and worse case, I can back out as the boss knows I am having a procedure. I will just tell him I am not up for it if it comes to that.
Just wondering how I will look and feel in a pair of jeans at 11 days out…
