    Gastric Sleeve BMI 35

    I am 9 days post sleeve op, I am 5"2 and weighed 178lb. I have already lost 12lb due to the post of liquid diet, ive had no complications so far and healed very well, my surgeon said I did not need to do the pre op diet due to my weight not being too high and I was very much encouraged to have the surgery done before gaining anymore weight (yoyo diets for years).

    Flying After Surgery?

    I flew to another country to have my Gastric Sleeve done, I has it done on the Saturday morning and flew home on Tuesday morning. I had 2 connecting flights and a total of 14 hours travel time, all was ok just very tiring and uncomfortable. I booked special assistance to take me from the check in desk to the plane and also help me off which was great. I would also suggest taking a pillow/cushion for the plane, wether that is to prop behind the base of your back to support stomach or as I used it quite a lot for, to hold against my incisions whilst coughing due to the air conditioning on board. Overall it wasn't the worst experience and definitely doable.
