Flying with the band ✈️✈️✈️

Hello....In a few days I will be flying for the first time since having my band fitted. It will be a long haul flight from the U.K to the U.S. Aprox 9 hours. Do you have any useful tips or feedback of how you felt when you took a flight. I would really appreciate it. Thank u ????????

No worries. I flew 6+ hours a couple of weeks after my first fill without problems. Plan to not eat during the flight or immediately afterwards. Eat before. Hydrate during the flight. Wait a couple of hours afterward and eat something soft as your first meal. That's just worse case scenario. Many people report feeling tighter when flying and I believe it, because hey, my feet and hands swell and it's the same process. But I had no problems. I even did eat on the flight back. Have fun!
