My surgeon said one week and I had to be off narcotics. I drove at one week exactly since I was off all pain meds except tylenol

I was able to drive within a few days....just had to be off pain meds.  As a matter of fact, I drove myself right back to the hospital when I got sick a week after surgery.

I drove the following day.  I was just told not to drive on pain meds or less than 24 hours after surgery.

I drove about 5 days after surgery.  As long as you are off pain meds you should be ok...
