Flying and the Lapband

Okay so I previously posted about going to Vegas soon. I called my doctors office and he said that when you fly the liquid in the band may expand some and that i might have a little more tightness during and shortly after flying.

I was told to eat very light and a least an hour before my flight. Then sip Water throughout the flight unless I get too tight then wait until I land and usually within an hour it should be back to normal.

I just wanted to pass this information on to you all.

I did. Went to Vegas. the little short puddle jump flight to get to Houston didn't have any effect at all. But the long 30,000 ft. flight did. I could actually feel it tighten and get uncomfortable. It lasted for many hours after landing. I was skeptical about all this, but it was true for me...... I just sipped water.
