Is it true that there is no flying for 6 months after you are sleeved? It’s on my list of questions next time I see the surgeon but a friend told me this and I’m curious.

I believe it is 4-6 weeks depending on your surgeon but still get up every hour and pump your legs back and forth while seated.

Right and I think when flying home to where your doctor for aftercare is waiting is different than leaving the state or country for vacation. I think his no flying really is more like no vacations right after surgery.

I have flown quite a bit and taken 3 or 4 vacations since surgery 5 months ago, including a month in Florida. No issues with flying or having a normal vacation. I think the first one was maybe 8 weeks out. If you travel just have a good plan for food, both on the plane and when you arrive. I found I lost a lot of weight on vacation because I was so active.
