I used bariatricpal as my coordinators, I didn't want to worry about anything...they did it all, transportations, medical fees, long distance calls and wifi, and this guys and my surgeon staff they were always taking care of me.

The reason they worry about dvt when flying after surgery is due to prolonged sitting. Try and walk as much as possible on the flights! Get up every time you can! Try and get a isle seat and walk up and down the isle every hour 1/2 or so! Also change your seating position rotate crossed legs stretch legs out in the isle or under the seat in front of you etc.... Keep them moving! Good luck! Stay moving and you'll be fine!
