Flying

I am due to fly on 16th June for a 1.5hour flight.
Is this ok with the band xx

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.

check with your provider as mine advises no food 2-3 hours before flying and to stick to liquids only during the flight. And if there's tightening the other end to do liquid/mash before returning to normal foods.

I few 6 weeks after having my band, I ate before the flight but did not having anything onboard. I had no problems at all x

Thank you everyone.

Spoke to provider also and they have said not a problem at all but to be safe I'll stick to liquids ?

Thank you xx
