I will need to fly home after surgery. How long do you think that they will make me stay around before I fly home?

I would say it depends on your overall health before surgery. I had my surgery on the 26th of May and flew home on the 8th of June. That involved a 2 day plane ride as we were in the Azores when I had to have emergency surgery. You will be very tired and weak. Be sure to use the wheelchair assistance at the airports.
Listen to your body and don't push yourself. My husband has done most of the cooking for me.
Praying for your recovery. Annie

Me also, that scenario would help me also if anyone has done it. ..
