Implant question. Ok to drive two days after the procedure?

Postby Kidantrim » Mon Mar 26, 2018 2:23 pm

Hi all,

I've been waiting for quite some time for this procedure but my surgeon has proposed a date next week which kind of caught me on the hop.i havent had an opportunity to discuss the post op with my surgeon.


I really dont want to turn the date down for fear of waiting for months for another surgery date.....i have a few commitments a two days after the procedure.....from implanted guys on here, have you been able cleared to drive two days after the op or is this just not an option?

Thanks , and thanks to all who post very valuable information on here.

Not sure how far you intend to drive but maybe very uncomfortable, I tried using a pillow but still very uncomfortable, took 2 weeks before doing things like that with out a lot of discomfort

I haven't done the surgery yet, but the paperwork I got from my Doc said I would be in the hospital overnight, and should not drive for 2 days - longer if I continued to take the prescription pain meds. Travelling in a car as a passenger would be less problematic, though perhaps painful. Some guys have done it and used urine bottles so they didn't have to get out of the car to pee.

I doubt I would drive, but I'd probably say yes to being a passenger, knowing that some pain would be worth getting it done sooner.

Good luck.

My post-op instructions said most men should not drive for 3 to 5 days. I must admit I did drive on the second day locally to the store. I needed to pick up some Colace stool softener. I had constipation caused by anesthesia. I remember the drive wasn't that bad. Walking into the store was the hard part. If I were you, I would not count on being able to drive so soon. You should probably try to find a way to delay those commitments. Good luck!

Several things to consider forst and formost whatever your dr says.

# 2 pain meds no driving while on them. You do and get stopped and charged with DUI figure 5 to 10 k in legal fees, fines community service , dui school. Plus insurance

# 3. Standard or automatic?

# 4. Where is your incesion
# 5. How far.
Since I did not a scrotal or pubic incession was not on pain meds drove 30 m8nutes back to dr next day plus any short trips around the motel. Drove home 2 .5 hours n3x5 day

I drove back to Long Island two days post op. Obviously cleared it with my doctor first. No problems, just had to split the driving with my wife and take a couple pit stops! Then again, I was fortunate to have minimal swelling or pain. I was only taking Tylenol. Good luck!
From Long Island. Implanted by Andrew Kramer in Baltimore with AMS Lgx 700 on 1/3/18. Peyronies led to ED and some size loss. Tried viagra, cila is to no avail. Did my research here and other sights then made the jump.

Well, I don't know about you but, there is no way in hell that I would have driven or anything other than lounge around in bed for at least one full week after and then only light things like get my own breakfast, etc. :)

I was sent home from the hospital pumped up harder than the surgeon intended. I could not use the toilet to piss. I called and was able to get in to see him about 46 hours after being discharged. I looked at my post-op directions and the only stipulation was no driving for 24 hours after taking the pain pills. I did not need them so I drove myself to the appointment. That particular day he was at his farthest location so I had to drive more than an hour each way. I was uncomfortable, but no more than I was sitting at home.
