Is Travelling By Flight Recommended After 2 Weeks Of Lap Appendectomy?
I'm a healthy 30 yr old female who just had a lap appendectomy on August 1st. I have a flight scheduled from Virginia to Colorado this coming Friday. I'm pretty sure it's ok but would like someone to confirm for me that this shouldn't be a problem to fly 2 weeks after surgery.

Hi,
There is no problem traveling by flight as enough time passed after surgery.
It is not advisable to fly immediately after surgery.
Ok and take care.
