I'm being sleeved on 13th of April and I fly out may 23rd for a 4.5 hr flight. I've heard rumors you can't because of clotting but I've known people to fly a few days after surgery for those that go to Mexico and get their surgeries done. I was hoping since I would be 5 week after surgery I'll be fine. Just wanna know what you all been told. Thanks in advance I'm only flying about 2.5 hrs at 5 weeks but my surgeon said it was fine. You might want to walk the aisle a couple times if you are worried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't want you to be no further then a 3 hour drive from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purchase thigh-high compression stockings, anyone over-weight should always wear them flying to avoid deep vein thrombosis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping since I would be 5 week after surgery I'll be fine. Just wanna know what you all been told. Thanks in advance I was advised no flying for 4 weeks ( I travel a ton for work). Partially because of risk of blood clots, partially because they said most complications happen within the first 4 weeks so I'd be close by their care if something happened. My first flight it booked for right at the 4 week mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
