How Long Should You Stay in Town After Vasectomy Reversal?
This will depend on how far you are traveling. For most people, it is fairly obvious that the less you move around after any surgery, the more comfortable you will be. If you are able to stay, you will be more comfortable. Returning to a hotel, lying flat, applying ice, and trying to rest is the best advice for anyone having almost any kind of surgery. This is a sensitive area and you can get through this surgery with very little discomfort if you follow directions and take care of yourself.

If possible, allow roughly 48 hours before scheduling your return flight. By this time, you should be more comfortable moving around without risking additional discomfort. The Savannah airport is fairly small but does require a bit of walking best avoided right after your surgery.
Driving After Vasectomy Reversal: What Patients Should Plan
Patients coming by vehicle need to have someone come with them so that they can be driven home. Pressure on the pedals will cause more discomfort than most believe. Reclining in the vehicle is also more comfortable. The best schedule is to plan your return home the day following your surgery. Most men will behave in a hotel for about a day. Beyond that however, if you are mostly comfortable, you will likely move around in the hotel room more than if you head home.
