Title: flying with MM ?
Post by Geoff and Tanya on Feb 11^th, 2012 at 10:47pm

My wife was diagnosed with MM a few weeks ago, we r off to see a vascular neurosurgeon tomorrow. we have had a holiday book to the Gold Coast for so long now due to fly out on the 18th this month just wondering if anyone has had any problem flying pre bypass surgery? She is lucky she has reasonable blood flow but have been told she will need surgery luv any feed back

Geoff & Tanya,

My daughter and I flew to India and back without any problems. and you have to consider all the prople that fly out to Stanford to have their bypass with Dr. Steinberg. I personally would say flying isn't a problem. Have a great trip.

My daughter also flew to India 6 months before her surgery. We had no idea at the time she had moyamoya. If you're worried though ask your doctor.
Can I assume that you live in Australia? We live in Victoria.

My daughter's surgery was done at The Royal Melbourne Hospital by John Laidlaw. He was fantastic and would highly recommend him.
She has unilateral moyamoya and only needed the one surgery. She was not diagnosed with moyamoya until many months after her surgery.
Hope you have a great holiday and all goes well.
Take care.
