I had my surgery 9/15/17 and have traveled by plane a couple of times since the surgery. I've noticed that now I have to be searched when going through security based on the heat map on the scan.
Has anyone had this happen to them since the surgery? I didn't have the full feel up before the surgery and travel quite extensively for my work.
would love some thoughts on this one!!!
:eek:
I have never heard of that.
Did someone tell you why that was exactly?
Can they see something has changed inside?
That actually freaks me out...
No it just keeps happening...I thought I would ask people on here.
I guess I need to send a note to my surgeon. It's really weird...
It is a heat map?
So they can't see the staple line?
The staples have the same temperature as the rest of the body of course, but maybe they do give a different image?
Please let us know, what your surgeon says?
My surgery was 11/14 and I've traveled several times without any change. I have TSA pre-check but I still go thru body scanners. I've done both the regular and the full body scan without incident.
I have flown several times since the surgery and have not had any issues. I even flew to Europe. No issues there either.
