I was scheduled for my first fill August 20 and was a little concerned because I have to fly to Vegas six days later for a conference. I read from some on here that flying and traveling can cause the band to tighten. Just got off phone with doc office and they rescheduled fill till after trip. Nurse said, yes it can affect the band, so just thought I'd pass this info on!

Another good point is to not travel so close to after a fill because if you have an overfill you'll be stuck in an emergency situation trying to find someone in your area to unfill you.
