I have the K pouch. My Surgeon is 80 miles away which is almost a 2 hour drive. I was in the hospital for several weeks to be sure all was ok before being released. I make the trek to see him once per year.
The doctor advised me to empty the pouch at least 6 times per day. And I need to drink 10 to 12 cups of liquid per day. I did fly on a plane after the surgery but it was about a year later. Even with those doctor recommendations I did not experience any problems with traveling on a plane. Good luck to you. Mary
