I have traveled lots of times, and all I can say is watch what you eat and drink before your flight. I tend not to eat much, maybe a bit of toast and a coffee.

New ostomate, we’ve all gone through feeling low and depressed over your ostomy.
This is a pretty open group. Right now, in summer, it’s a low response time—lots of family things going on. If you need something, call out. Someone dealing with your situation will post something sooner or later.
It’s just that time of year.
Take care, and good luck.

Has auto-correct replaced jabs with jags, perhaps?
Do you mean drugs like Ozempic? Unless you have diabetes (for which these drugs are intended), I personally wouldn't take any injection for weight loss. Research the side effects, of which there are many, including gastrointestinal diseases (not great for an ostomate).
Eat less, move more, no big pharma required!

If your doc thinks it's OK, no worries.
There have been previous posts about weight loss drugs and the ostomate; the one below had the most replies. Good luck!

Another post I found about this issue with a warning about Ozempic "horse face."
