So I will be traveling to Hickory North Carolina with my husband in December to see his parents. I plan on getting unfilled due to the plane ride. ( his family does noit know I have the band) We will be there for a week should I think about getting a fill while I'm there or just wait til I come back home and go to my normal doctors?

Another question? Should I tell his family? This will be during Christmas and I know it will be akward when I sit to Christmas dinner and only eat 1/2c of food. I dont want to offend any one ( they may think I do not like the food) .....

Thanks!

Is this your first time flying since being banded? Why are you getting unfilled for the plane ride?

This will be my first flight with the band let alone in 10 years.:smile2: The reason for the unfill is that I have heard that the cabin pressure can make you extremly tight for a few days and I do not want to be unconfortable during my vacation. Not only that but I will be 1800 miles away from my doctor.:smile:

So a small unfill might work before you leave. It's your personal decision whether or not to tell his family. If you feel they will support you and you feel comfortable telling them, then why not. But if you do not feel comfortable telling them, you can always make up something, such as you are trying to watch what you eat. I love north carolina. The people down there always seem so friendly. Enjoy your time there.
