Frequent Fliers, Question For You

I fly every weekend and have noticed that I have been having more issues with my band being tighter. I was at my sweet spot and now I get stuck daily (for the past 2 weeks). The only thing I can relate to the problem is the flying. I know it isn't supposed to have an impact, but has anyone else experienced similar issues?

I have not, but at a seminar I went to pre-op that was led by an Allergan spokesman, he stated that, he even though it is not listed in the "What can happen" portion of their brochure, because it has never been tested, it is a very common complaint amongst those who fly often. Some people at the seminar said it could take up to 3 weeks of not flying for them to balance back out. If you fly that regularly you may want to have a small unfill.

Might just have to do that. It is driving me bonkers!

I read somewhere that flying did effect the band and it was best to stay on liquids only the day of flying and the day after. I'll flying next month.
