    Don’t think you’re meant to fly short haul for 2 weeks and long haul 6 weeks due to DVT. Have you had your op yet? You may want to see how you feel as 10dpo I struggled going back to work let alone going on holiday xxx

    No my op is 18th April! Nurse said it depends how I feel but obvs have to wear flight socks etc it’s 3 days in Majorca for a family friends 50th birthday but would be pretty relaxed my boyfriend would carry my bags so I wouldn’t be lifting anything, I was just worried about the actual flight and wondered if anyone else had done anything similar I’ll probably just wait and see how I feel tbh. When did you feel back to normal Danielle? Xxx

    Aw I would maybe see how you feel before booking!? 10 days after I didn’t feel fab..didn’t like being in the car and couldn’t stand straight etc. It takes a while and I’m only 5 wpo and wouldn’t say I feel 110% and like my boobs are my own etc but soo much better! Still having aches and shooting pains from where they’re coming back to life xxx

    I really don’t think it’s a good idea! I was still very uncomfortable at 10DPO and would not have been willing to go on holiday/on a plane

    I would not recommend flying so soon after op. Not only dvt, but if you have any issues with infection or stitches I would recommend being in this country . Suppose it depends on how you feel about risk really, personally I wouldn’t chance it.
