Hysterectomy and going to parks?

[JAF]

Depends on the individual and circumstances. Had to have radical hysterectomy due to cancer and the operation was just over 2 weeks before a booked holiday to Florida. Was lucky and was cleared to fly on planned date. Did have to notify travel insurance, get a signed form from the consultant and let BA know before I was allowed to fly. I was not allowed on most rides but consultant said if I could that it I would do better in warmer weather, find it easier to walk longer distances as would have a reason to do so (walking round the parks with the others) which would aid recovery and also easier not to do things I should not do eg run a home over Christmas. We did go, had a great time and was probably for the best as I had a good reason to try and recover quickly from the operation.

Thanks again for all the posts - it's an elective op, not for cancer, so the urgency is not there fortunately, but you also have confirmed my feeling that if the op is less than 3 months before the holiday it might be problematic.

I'm going to have a chat with my family member and see what she'd like to do.

A lot depends on whether its keyhole or full operation plus how fit you are before having it and also whether you listen to your surgeons advise given or think you know better. First 3 weeks I literally fell asleep while friends where with me and they just left (quite funny really but they had been warned). Only she will know how she feels & how big a op she actually has.

This is exactly what I was going to say
I also had an abdominal wound so was still quite tender along scar line for quite a few weeks and found car seat belts quite uncomfortable until at least 8 weeks let alone how I would have felt with ride restraints
As the earlier poster says it depends what's done and how she recovers. I had wound healing problems so part of my scar was still healing 3 months later
She would also need to check with travel insurance what she would be covered for
