Does anyone know what happens to band if flying on plane too soon after a "fill"?

I fly to get all of my fills... I live in Nevada and fly to San Diego to get my fills done. I have never noticed any difference from the flights, but I live in a high elevation area (5,000+). However, I did notice that when I went on vacation for 2 weeks at sea level that I had less restriction.

Personally, I always tighten up for a day or three when I have to fly in a jetliner. My doc swears that the travel shouldn't affect it, but that has been a consistent reaction for over a year now.

I avoid all foods and drinks before and during a flight.

I flew within 36 hours of being banded and was fine. I also flew within 24 hours of my last fill and was perfectly fine. My restriction was at the expected level after the flight and was consistent for weeks.

I'll be flying for the first time after being banded in 3 weeks. I was told not to eat or drink on the flight so as to avoid complications.

You can fly right after - I flew to NY from Dallas 4 days later - doctor said no big deal at all. Don't worry about it - nothing changes - you do generally get dehydrated from flying but you won't notice anything.

I fly to Denver to get my fills. I fly immediately before and after my fill and have no problems.
