CMC01/2016

I had surgery in Cancun Mexico on Jan 22, 2016 (a Friday) flew home on Monday. No problems. 3 1/2 hr flight. I did get up and walk to the bathroom several times, stood in the isle some. No one seemed to mind. I did tell the airline at the check in desk. They allowed me to board with the first group of people and had someone help me with my bags. I knew I would not be able to lift my bag into the overhead. Also, I was glad they served apple juice.

Hello Everyone. I am new to this forum. I will get sleeved January 22. Very excited, but nervous. I start my pre-op liquid diet on January 8. I have only told my kids, my mom, and a couple of siblings. I told my kids (age 33,27,24,15) today--the boys didn't say much, one girl positive and one girl negative. My husband is ok with it, but has not said much. Hoping to find encouragement and friends who understand on this site. My insurance does not cover the surgery, so I am self pay. Therefore, I will be traveling to Cancun, Mexico for the procedure. It is about 1/3 of the cost. One of my sisters is a nurse and will travel with me. I look forward to getting to know each of you and hope I can encourage you also.
