Thanks, I’ll get in touch with them and see what they can offer ?

He scheduled the surgery specifically so I would have the 6 week recovery period and knows I’m going overseas, he doesn’t have any concerns about me travelling it’s more me wondering about the comfort and being concerned as far as food goes and how I’ll manage that on the flight if I’m still on soft foods or even purées, I can’t remember where I was at 6 weeks in after my sleeve and not sure if bypass will be different.

I was sleeved 3 years ago and lost in total about 30 kilos, however sleeve has stretched and am regaining weight all the time. Ive got a date booked in for the 7th April to go from sleeve to bypass. My question is how is the pain after this type of surgery? I’m also booked on a long haul flight (18hrs) exactly 6 weeks after. Has anyone done this? We are already booked and can not be upgraded to business class etc. on top of the costs of my surgery. How have people managed with food at this stage on the plane and will I still be on soft foods etc and do I have to be cautious of dumping? Any advice would be appreciated!
