You will have no bother with your band I wouldn't imagine. I flew home, alone, the morning after my op, around an hours flight, no bother what so ever. I think some people have a bit of tightning of the band on Long Haul flights, but from what I gather it goes back to normal after a day or two. Some people report to have no problems at all...I'm sure more people will add to this thread with answers too.
