Didn't report a surgery

  1. I have been flying for 25 years, and I think this is going to sound bad. I had a minor surgery when I was in 5th or 6th grade to remove a chunk of fatty tissue under my nipple, I also had my wisdom teeth removed. I was led to believe that it wasn't worth reporting it on the medical form. Now I am second guessing that advice. What should I do? Report it now after all these years?

    To follow the law you should report it. Probably nobody will notice or care.

    However, I’m not sure how they would ever find out about it if you didn’t report it.

    People forget simple stuff like this. I would move on and not worry about it.
