Frequent Fliers, Question For You



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
