Everybody talks about risk of flying.....let me explain everything as a registered doctor.
Noone should fly immediatley after surgery. You should wait 1 week post discharge and if you feel great than fly. Consult your gastro doctor before you leave to be on safe side. he/she will be happy to collect your money before you go for a final checkup.
you will be sitting down during the trip which you would be doing at home anyway...
Its not like you will be doing cartwheels or laying bricks on the plane...if you want to be more comfortable upgrade to business class.
You will need to have some nappies on hand.....because it is possible you will decorate your pants with fudge. Ask flight attendents or airline to allocate seating near bathrooms.
Unless you need oxygen due to lung problems you won't have any dramas flying..Its your stomach that got injured not your brain and not your heart and lungs...
If you do die on the plane....it was probably your time up anyway...take out an insurance policy and donate the money to some backward religious group or your family if you give a stuff about them.

∙ 12y agoAbsolutely! Be sure to pack extra ostomy supplies into your carry-on bag, just in case your checked bag(s) magically disappear. Admittingly, I did not find the security screening to be much fun. They pulled me aside and asked me to show them my bag, as well as opening it.
