Morning all, right not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but if not please can the MODS / ADMINS either transfer it to it's correct place, or even duplicate it in to as many forums as poss for me as I really need advice and best answers on this ASAP.
The quack at our local hospital thinks that I may of either torn or split the cartlidge in my right knee, if so then it seems that keyhole surgery is the answer to fix it, we have got a few hols coming up that we do not want to miss, so does any know how long after this kind of surgery can one fly ?, all answers, experiences, and advice welcome as I need to build up as much info as poss for when I next see the surgeon.
Many thanks

Not sure about the "after" - but if you are travelling BEFORE scheduled or planned surgery, don't forget to advise your travel insurer!!!
I had that operation on a Monday and flew to Barcelona on the Wednesday and walked several miles (with pain killers) before flying back on the Wednesday night. So I dont think its a problem unless long haul within a couple of days of the opreation then I would ask advice. DVT and all that may come into play. Bit more information I had the operation under a general anaesthetic and the surgeon knew about the trip to Barcelona hence the pain killers
Cheers Colin thats great info mate 
, we have three flights planned for the rest of the year, Belgium one hour or so, Malta 3 hours or so, and Dusseldorf one hour or so, so by going off your estimates then I should be ok to fly god willing of course, pretty peed off at present as we should of flown to Malta last thursday for 10 days but had accident Tuesday night so had no chance of making it, couldn't believe just how painfull it was, what did you reckon to the pain ?.
