Problems flying?

[dixiedoo 0]

I will be flying on Monday - first time since being banded. I will be in the air 4-5 hours. Has anyone had any problems or anything they've noticed while flying? Any does or don'ts? Any comments will be appreciated.

I seem to be tighter during the flight and for the remainder of that day. I would maybe bring a Protein Shake with you - try to avoid eating. This has just been my personal experience. I fly at least once a month 4 hours one way.... Other than that it is fine. My nurse also said many people experience their band to be tighter during a flight.. doesn't seem to be an explaination as to why though. Good luck and have a safe trip.
