I know I've seen some posts about what flying sometimes does to your band, I believe it might make it tight? Of course I will call the doctor's office but I wanted to check here for personal experience. I'm supposed to have my 1st fill on 4/26 then I am going out of town on 4/30 for 3 days. I will be flying. Do you think I should push out my fill until my return? or see if I can move it to next week? Next week will only make me 5 wks post op so they probably won't do it. Just curious as to anyone's experience!

Thanks!

**Update ** I called the doctor's office & they said that I should:

1) Keep the appt for the 4/26 (don't move it up or push it out).

2) Remind them when I come in that I'm going out of town.

3) They will only fill me a small amount. (I figured since it was my 1st fill)

4) Don't go crazy eating when I'm out of town. (I wasn't planning on that anyway!)

5) Come back in after I'm back in town.

We will see what happens!

I would guess altitude could make it tight for the trip, but like a bag of unopened hcips it should go back to what it ws once you land? I'm just guessing though...

Have a great trip!!

I flew two days post op. No fill yet, but just banded........ No problems. Good Luck!

It doesn't make a difference... i flew a few weeks ago, and ate didn't have a problem. It's a myth.

Thanks for the responses...I'm not going to worry about it.
