I'm looking to go to Mexico for surgery but am so afraid to fly afterwards. It just doesn't seem safe to me and I'm sure my family dr will be completely against it.

I know the chances are slim but I can't help but be hesitant. I have a family I can't afford to die doing something I have the choice to do.

I flew to Mexico for surgery on Jan 21st. I flew out of Toronto it is a 6-61/2 hour flight. I was able to fly home on the 25th no problem at all. I was so worried about gas, blood clots etc... I wasted a lot of time worrying for nothing it was fine. It's actually a shorter flight coming home it's only 41/2 hours. I sat in an aisle seat so that if I needed to I could rush to the bathroom. I didn't have any problem at all. I bought a water after I got through security and just sipped on it all the way back. I also chewed gum which is a no no but my ears were filling up so I had to no problem there either. Where are you from??

As a nurse, I share your concerns. Saying there is nothing to worry about is not correct. Make sure you get a really good pair of compression stockings and move/walk as much as you can.

The only problem i had was the kid kicking behind my seat on the airplane on the way home good thing i had pain meds in me for his sake and yes i did ask his parents to make him stop which went to deaf ears

Had lap band done awhile ago starting sliping after birth of my twins rhen had it removed last year

Then got fat now i want vsg for me
