I'm flying from NY to Mexico (about 4 hours), does any one have any tips for flying? It's my first time since being banded in March.

Flying is not an issue - I fly every week for work (on 4 planes minimum each week) and have no problems - I have heard you can get a little tight when get int he air and when land ev erything goes to normal however I have never experienced tightness when flying Have fun on your trip -- just be careful of alchol low calories and flying make you super tipsy

I just flew to NC a few weeks ago and had no problems with the band. Enjoy your trip!

Thank you! That is great to hear!

I returned to NJ from Colorado yesterday, and my band felt tight while in the air in both directions. It also seemed to be a bit tighter while there, which I attributed to the lower air pressure at the higher altitude.

I've flown dozens of times since being banded, and never had any problems with the band itself. (The food on the airplane or in the airport, however, is a different matter . . .)
