Traveling afterwards

[Chavon88 22]

So I'm scheduled to have my revision on June 19th from the band to the gastric sleeve and I wanted to see if anybody traveled after they had theirs. I'm supposed to be flying out of town on June 26th for a family reunion and I guess I want to get a feel of how you guys felt after your surgery. I'm thinking I might be OK by then but I really have no idea so I would love to hear your stories please.

I flew a few days after my surgery, and everything was fine. My surgeon tried to discourage me because of the risk of dvt. I told her I have to go out of town, I didn’t have a choice. She ok’d it as long as I gave myself Lovenox shots, which she gave me a prescription for. Just request and aisle so you can move your legs, take the shots a few days before and after, and every hour get up and walk to the bathroom and back.
