How soon could you travel by air after a not-so-serious operation?

Me and my mates are heading away() , and cheap flights are 10 days after one of them has an operation.

He'll be sedated for the operation if that makes a difference. Like I said, it's not a major surgery.

it depends on what the surgery is. he should probably ask his doctor instead of you asking lw.

Uh, he'll be fine.

he will be fine, for minor surgery they suggest waiting between 7 and 10 days.

Ask handsfree.
