Hi everyone.

What's the rules with flying after band?

Looking at maybe a 3 and half hour flight in 3 weeks time. 1st fill monday 1st october. I will ask then but thought someone might know x

not sure but people go to prague and get banded etc and fly home so shouldnt imagine there would be much of a problem just dont eat before you go in case it gets stuck lol

Hiya
I think like a lot of things where the band is concerned it differs from person to person I was banded in February this year and flew to Hong Kong in July and Turkey in August. I ate on the flights with no problems with 5 ml in a 10 ml band. I wasn't feeling much restriction at all. That said I have had another 0.75 put in and I would be more worried about trying food now!

I had a 9 ml band and had 6.5 ml in it and flew to Italy it was fine but it felt like it filled up a bit sounds daft I know but once landed was ok and if any one has sleep apnea get a letter from your docs and it's free to take on board not part of baggage allowance
Enjoy your flight

i have flown several times with my band. no problems as such on the flight, but has felt tighter for 2 or 3 days after each flight.
