My brother just had surgery for a brain aneurysm less than two months ago, is it okay for him to travel by plane. I am asking due to the pressure one experiences during take off.

Hello, Anon!

Thank you for your post!

After surgery, patients should consult with their doctor at their follow up appointments as to when it is safe to fly (and drive) as this can vary from patient to patient.
