After bye pass surgery back to normal working life possible

Once you have had your surgery and recoverd can you return to normal working hours ie if your a hgv driver can you get your licence back if you pass all the relevant tests

Yes u can get your licence back. Yes u have to pass all tests that are relevant and some that are not relevant . It may be restricted to 1,3or up to usual 5 years. But be aware it may take 6-9 months to get it back!!! 😮. The DVLA don't rush themselves in uk.

If u have any other issues following surgery, that can delay the process even more.

I’m not sure but I think you just need to jump through some extra hoops.

I work offshore, had a quintuple heart bypass last May and I have to have my cholesterol checked(joke) as I’m on statins and I also have to do a Bruce protocol test.

It’s easy.

I have been back to work since Xmas, im a roughneck which is more physical than hgv driving. I also now cycle upto 58 miles every other day. So whatever people say life can go on.

Good luck
