Aviation medical question

[cjsmith]

Any aviation medical examiners reading this? Thursday morning I go in for laparoscopy, at sea level. I understand this will inflate my abdomen with CO2, pockets of which may remain afterwards to be gradually reabsorbed by the body. How soon can I safely and sanely be a passenger in an unpressurized light plane? How soon a pilot-in-command?

Your DH's surgery is probably close to what I'll have, so if I forget to get any better answer, a week's restriction is a sensible thing for me to adopt.

Tell, tell, did you bid on the one-piece for Alan?
