What about a jumper type dress? It won't have a waist and will be easier on your tummy.

I wore a cotton sundress that was very loose. My stomach was so swollen I looked like I was pregnant. Also, I put a stuffed animal between myself and the seatbelt. Made any turbulence and the landing much better,

Good luck on your surgery! :)

I like the one on the right!

I vote the striped one, looks cozy:). I wear a dress on the way back from Mexico, it was perfect for the plane ride.

i will wait for 5 votes to choose ;)

Traveling far, Boricua! I always wondered if they had wls in DR, that would be closer. I like the striped dress. Green is pretty, though

The best of luck on your surgery. My flight was only 2 hours, but the neck pillows they sell in the airport shops work wonders to cushion your stomach. I had very loose workout pants, and was not at all uncomfortable, but I do wish I would have had some loose dresses to wear. I hope all goes well for you!

With that much travel, you must get up and walk the ailes frequently to prevent bloodclots.

Now that you say it,Im from Dominican Republic, I just have 8 years living on Puerto Rico. I made research and they have greats surgeons on my country, But its thousand$$$ of dollars less in Tijuana, including the plane tickets to my mom and me. :) :)
