Flying after Lap RNY?

I was wondering how soon anyone has flown after having a Lap RNY? I have the option of a Dec. 2 surgery date, however, have plans to visit family in California (I'm in the D.C. area), a 5 hour flight away, on Dec. 20. Is this too soon? I'm hoping to talk to my surgeon tomorrow, but I wonder if any other folks out there have encountered this? Thanks!
