ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The individual needs to perform a border bounce for visa purposes after ACL surgery but cannot fly due to medical reasons. Suggestions from the community include completing the border bounce prior to surgery, using a VIP van service instead of flying, or obtaining a medical extension through a hospital that can assist with paperwork. Some comments suggest that flying post-surgery is feasible and advise doing the border bounce right before surgery to allow adequate recovery time.
