@judych...glad you got your unfill and feeling better and that it all worked out for ya after the mix up with patient files. I suppose I can understand the mix up with the way the Dr. travels. As for getting unfill. I would say if you are eating comfortably and not having any issues when you get ready for your flight you will probably be ok. But maybe talk with your Dr. he may know better because apprently it does not effect everyone. Good luck...Teri @marce1...wish I had your luck ....Teri

I know stress effects the band also. When I saw the Dr. here she took out 3/4 of a cc. She was wanting to take a full cc but I only wanted 1/2 cc removed...so we met in the middle . We both are thinking that should be enough taken out for now so that if the flight back home does effect me, I should be comfortable in a few days after getting home. I just want to be back in ny sweet spot

Yea I understand the worry after reading my post. I guess a few things to keep in mind is that (1) you have not had a fill yet so you may not feel the restriction I have had, (2) it seems like it doesn't effect everyone, which is a good thing, and last, try not to worry. Because I know worry and stress effects us and tightens us up. Good luck on your trip

My band is a 10 cc band and was filled to 6.3. But Went to a Dr. here that E.R. had contacted for me to see. Thier office just took out 3/4 of a cc for me so I am feeling much better and fluid running smoothly through again. AH that is such a relief...lol. But asked Dr. my question and they said yes flying can effect the band restriction and make it tighter. My flight is only 2.20 hrs.. But since they just took that much out I should be good for my flight home. Thank you all for your input...Teri

For my vacation I flew to Pa. to visit family and friends. I have been here about ten days now and I have noticed ever since I flew here my restriction is so tight and has gotten to the point I can't even keep fluids in. I have visited the E.R. in hopes they could releive the band a little. They have given me the name of a band dr. I can see. But I do have to fly back home and worried I will go through this all over again. Please let me know if anyone has gone through this or something similar. Thanks... Teri
