When are you going? I'm going down on the 18th for a week. I don't know of any special precautions, though. I cancelled my last fill appointment, because I wanted to avoid being overfilled on vacation.

I always try to eat prior to flying as my band tightens when I fly. I sip slowly when in the air and don't partake in the snack pack. Some people stay tight once they land so you may want to take it easy with your dining choices.

Yep - beware of eating while in flight - and be careful for the first 24 hours after. Altitude changes can mess with the restriction of your band.

I, too, always eat before I leave and take care for a while after I arrive. If flying makes you puff up - your band WILL be tighter.

Have fun!!
