Passengers using supplemental O2 fly all the time. But they generally make arrangements with the airline in advance so the O2 is avaialble and at thier seat....
Perhaps we should leave the medical advice to the flyer's doctor?
That said I think that the OP needs to contact Delta before thier next flight and not just assume "it will all work out" that's the scary part here. Not the need for O2
