First time flying with band...questions...

[blackcherry2002 5]

Well the only thing I'm worried about is a few people have mentioned their bands being a bit tighter for a day or two after the flight and/or during...well I'm at my sweet spot finally and can eat small amounts, I'm worried that if it gets any tighter I wouldn't be able to keep Water down, etc.

I flew several hours last month and am on my way on another LONG trip later this month.

I didn't have any trouble with my band after flying. I did think that I noticed some weird feeling during the flight, but later realized it was just that the jeans I was wearing were pushing on my port.

Have a good trip! Lucky you, at your sweet spot. Still looking for mine!

yeah I had flown about a month ago and I was nervous about the same things. I was fine. I do tend to stress out during flights, and sometimes stress causes my band to feel tighter but even with that I was okay.

One word of warning...take a bottle of Water on board with you. Stay hydrated. We just flew back from Mexico and our plane was diverted for bad weather. We spent an extra 2-1/2 hours on the plane and couldn't get off at the second terminal because it was an international flight. I was so dehydrated I was about sick when I finally hit the ground.

Other than that, flying didn't affect my band at all. And, I have good restriction, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Like the others said, the port can be a problem if your clothes are too tight. Dress for comfort, not style! Have a good trip!

Hello Everyone:

I recently flew and I had no trouble with my band. The only thing that I was nervous about was me forgetting to chew something well enough or eating to quickly and then having the urge to PB on a flight full of people. Its bad enough waiting in line to pee, let alone when you are doing the anti-PB chant and trying to convince your food to stay down. Luckily that did not happen. I agree with everyone else though about dressing for comfort and not for style.

PS. I love my band. It has allowed me to avoid having to use the dreaded seatbelt extender. :thumbup:

Happy Flying everyone.

I fly all the time and never noticed anything band related. You'll be fine.
