tiers4me 23 Posted June 1, 2016 My surgery is on July 11 in Florida. Will be flying direct to JFK on July 15. I should be good right? Will I need to request a wheelchair or anything at the airport? Did anyone else fly shortly after surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samara1974 116 Posted June 1, 2016 I flew three days after surgery, I ended up asking for a wheelchair due to the 45 minute connection. It was a good thing because I would have never made it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted June 1, 2016 I would ask for a wheelchair just because if you have to walk a long distance in the airport, you might get tired fast and not be able to make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
