Title: Post Op and flying in aircraft question??
Post by: Quailruner on August 20, 2007, 06:33:15 pm

I am about 8 months post op, and I need to know if there could be a problem with flying, i.e. helocopter or non pressurized aircraft?
Has anyone flew in a helicopter post op, with any side effects?
The last time I was in a helicopter pre-op, I had a lot of head pressure and even ear pain for a couple of days.
Just want to be sure before I jump into one and take off.

Thanks,

Kenn A.

 I never got this question answered seriously either. Shahinian told me "No problem" with scuba diving or airplanes. What I WANT TO KNOW is what happens physiologically when pressure is released in the ear within what organ, or since I have my vestibular nerve taken out does my POST AN EAR affected at all by pressure, does it pressurize??
