TSA body scan anomaly after surgery

[Melissa315 54]

Same just happened to me. I flew from Chicago to Arizona no problem because I didn't get picked to do the full body scan. When we flew Arizona to Chicago I was picked to do a full body scan. He showed me the scan and yes it shows a bunch of yellow spots all over belly and inner thigh area. They had to do a pat down. I didn't say anything and just let her do her job but it kinda sucks. I've only lost 65lbs but I have extra skin on my inner thighs. It does makes you feel weird to have a pat down. I guess it's something we have to be prepared for every time we fly unless we have plastic surgery.

Ugh, I am flying from AZ to Chi in exactly one month, this isn't something I am looking forward to dealing with at the airport. I am 3 days shy of my 3 months post op and only have a little saggy skin in the lower belly area...trying to keep myself fit while I loose the weight bc I'm traveling for my wedding!! Let's hope I can make it through the TSA checks!!
