How many days are you able to travel after having appendix surgery?

I assume you meant to ask, "how many days should you wait before traveling after having an appendectomy"? As soon as the patient feels up to it. There is no magical time frame. You should not travel if running a temperature 101 or greater as this may indicate an infection of some sort. If you feel ok, it's ok. I've been a Physician Assistant for over twenty years and would not hesitate to tell my patients the same.

How long after having polyps removed will it take for your sense of smell to return?
Unfortunately, maybe never. I have had the surgery five times, and I was able to smell for about 5 minutes, after my third surgery. It is a learned behavior, so it's a "use it, or lose it" kind of thing. I haven't been able to taste or smell in about 35 years.
