travel after sleeve surgery?

[AnnainMS 9]

Hi everyone - this is my very first post! I'm going to the Dr next week and hope to have a surgery date in the next month! How soon after the sleeve surgery can you travel via plane? I need to go out of the country and wasn't sure how long you think I will need to wait. Thank you so much in advance!

Some people travel to Mexico for Gastric sleeve. They fly home 3 days later. So I would wait a couple of days.

Hi, I just had my sleeve on 1/20 my Dr doesn't allow travel by plane or sitting for long periods of time due to blood clots.. I have to wait 8 wks . I would go by your Dr's guidelines, I've noticed it's a different protocol with different Dr's. Best of luck!
