Does anyone have experience with this while using Stryde? Is it possible? (Say, 1 month into distraction?). Very painful? Any thoughts would be great.
Yes you can do it without problem.
Just try to wait some days after you leave the Hospital to heal more, but it’s okay !
A lot of people go back to them country right after they leave the hospital.
I’m planning to fly from Athens to London around 1 month post op so hopefully it’s ok. I’ve heard of people leaving a lot earlier after surgery so I’m sure we will be fine.
Make sure you take blood thinners before the flights. Get up often

what happens if u don't do this? I spoke with a very well known Indian LL doctor and he said they usually don't provide blood thinners. but I didn't mention about flight to him. he just said generally they don't provide blood thinners.
what might be the complication if you get embolism? death? if not death can you be left brain damaged?
The risk of pulmonary embolism is real.
if massive or left unchecked it can lead to difficulty breathing, heart failure and death

Is this true even after 4 weeks of surgery? Doesn't pulmonary embolism relate to the surgery itself and not the lengthening?

what about brain damage?? Is that possibility?
The treatment that i had for blood thinner was for 3 weeks after surgery.
It’s only 1 capsule each day, the name was « Coraspin ».
But the most important if you fly is to take painkiller, it will helps you.
