Is it OK to have a trip by plane after the surgery?

Two months you scar should have healed by now. If you are still unsure, best to consult your doctor. Better to be safe than sorry. But the cabins of the plans are pressurized. So it should not be a problem. And you already recuperated for two months! It should be healed pretty well by now. Going for a holiday?

I think it should be okay. I took an airplane flight about four and a half weeks after the only surgery I have ever had. I did ask my doctor first. That is what I would suggest to you. I know that I can call my doctor and ask those kinds of questions.If it has been two months, then it should be fine.

[i]Hi youless, after 2 months, I am sure you are very ready for a trip but to make it more valid and safe, try to call your doctor about it and inquire![/i]

It is kind of not good! Travel by air, something that must be took into consideration, like Prolonged immobilization in cramped seating, dehydration from low humidity,infrequent supply of beverages, and high altitude, will lower blood oxygen saturation. It depends! Some people recover so fast that they don't have to worry about anything. Others are not!

I would think that after two months it would be okay, but if you have concerns you could ask your dr.

better not. not recovered well enough to do more exercise. what they need most is good rest. there is plenty of time for travelling later on, so why risk oneself?

I think the best person who would be able to answer that my friend is your doctor or the surgeon/consultant who did the surgery for you, then you will get a clearer picture and hopefully be given the all clear to be able to fly, ask them first or get professional guidance then you won't have to worry or take conflicting advice from others. Be safe!

It is not true. People can take trips even 2 weeks after the surgery. If your trip is very long, make sure to have nice rest after your trip.

First of all ask advice from your doctor. I don't think having a trip by plane will have repurcussions on your scar but its best to seek professional help

IF I WERE YOU i will ask your Dr. about it to make sure.better safe than sorry.

ive had a trip by plane 4 days after my CS. it didn't harm me or damage my scar.it has no connection after all.
