My flight home after surgery will be a little over 4 hrs and I'm very curious to know how some of you survived the flight. I know my gas will be out of control.

I am booked with United, I just called them because I noticed in their website they have a number for persons with "disabilities". 1-800-228-2744 if anyone else is flying with them (you can do this even if you did not book directly with them, I booked my thru priceline.... I told them I was flying to have surgery and needed isle seats the closer to the restrooms the better (I am always afraid of having to throw up in a bag LOL) they gave me all isle seats and tried to get me as close to the restroom as possible. They also requested wheelchair assistance for me (I definitely won't need it on the way there but since I am going alone, it will be nice to have someone help me with the luggage,specially after surgery, I am afraid I will hurt after to carry it). I don't have to pay for any of this! I will make sure to get out of the seat often and walk around to prevent blood clots and will also be wearing compression stockings both ways.

I am just going to ask at the desk, on the way home, if they have extra seats & if so could I upgrade. I will explain I just had bariatric surgery & the extra room will help. See if they charge me. If they do, hoping it is $500 or less. If it is more I will probably skip it & just stick with my aisle seat in economy class.

I upgraded my daughter last July for $175.00. The flight was from San Diego to Atlanta. I fly tomorrow for my revision on Wednesday. I am so excited.
