airplane travel with band surgery

Chrystal,

thanks for the advice. besides the fact that I do not travel by air much & this being a rather long non=stop flight, I am concerned. do you just put portions into zip lock bags or do you use something else. I understand the band will probably tighten during air travel is that the gas you are talking about? Thanks very much.

Patti, I would portion things out into zip lock bags for ease. 

Yes that is what I'm talking about the gas.  This was actually a major factor when I chose the band because I travel so much.  I needed clarification that I would be okay and not in pain during and after the flight.

One suggestion my husband just had was the oatmeal packets with non-flavored protein powder.  I always carry nuts or a trail mix with me.  I have not noticed any problems with these. 

Good luck and have fun!!

Do not stress over this too much.
