I am scheduled to be banded Nov. 28th. Recently found the website. I have read most of the threads in here and there is alot of very good information. Although I have yet to find anyone discussing any problems with flying. I travel all the time in my job and was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the air pressure in planes?

I flew 2 days after surgery and did not experience any problems,i think there is a thread about this subject already

No problems with air pressure. For me I still have a hard time sitting straight up, my port site is very tender. So until I can tilt back my seat it's a bit uncomfortable.

The issue is to make sure you have the food you can eat with you.

I've made over 62 flights this year (including several overseas) and I've not had a single issue - although those international flights make you pretty paranoid about what they're serving.

There is a thead about this already but I will tell you just like what we all loose, eat, and ect how we do flying is different! I have flown 5 or so times now since banded. Only had a bad experience 1 time, but I was already too tight, the cabin pressure made it worse for me. I did set the thingy off this time on the way there, but not on the way back...lol..strange.

I tend to swell when flying which makes the band feel tighter. Make sure to drink lots of Water before, during and after the flight.

I don't have any problems flying, I just make sure I take some of my own food with me to eat.

Some people have problems.

I fly about 1-2 times per week and I haven't had a problem at all. Some of these have been 10+ hour flights and I eat and everything with no issue.

Thank you all for your input. It was a concern of mine.
