I had to fly just 4 days post-op because I had traveled to Mexico for my surgery. Lots of people on this forum have gone to Mexico. My flight was fairly short, but a lot fly further distances with no issues.
I took a 3 hour flight 4 days after, I hadn't any problems. Some of the problems occur in longer flights, because people do not get up and move around and do not hydrate themselves well enough. I bought a large frozen health drink in the terminal ( My son had to finish it )and got up every hour on the flight. I didn't wear the compression socks. Best wishes
My surgeon asked me hold on on international travel for 10 weeks minimum. She said that she rather have me close during this healing process. She can transfer me to my hospital from any other in the country but nit from over seas. Clot wise we can be cleared very soon.
hi,
unfortunately i have no answers, just similar questions. i too will be coming from abroad and will have to return within a month of surgery. i'm concerned about blood clots both before and after. i don't know if the long flight from china just days before the surgery can impact clotting or not. i know it can be an issue after surgery.
