My surgery is on the 22nd February in Mexico.  My daughter and I are travelling all the way from New Zealand for this momentus day in our lives.
I am a low BMI of 36. my daughter is 45.
has anybody taken a long haul flight after vsg surgery?

I had my gastric  sleeve after life long yoyo dieting.  Finally after retiring and finding my knees hurt to much to allow me to travel I decided it was time to fix myself if I could.  It seems that most of you are going and I wish I had done something like this before I hit my 60's.  But I didn't so I may not be as with it as the majority of you.  But just reading about your journeys is really helping me.  Now to figure out how to get my weight, etc. info included!!!

Hi, Newbie here, looking forward to everything!!!

This place can be positive or negative depending on your outlook. I've noticed that when I remain active here by following the struggles or joys of others and, most important, leaving a comment, I'm helping myself probably more than the person for whom I'm leaving a comment. It takes courage initially to post your first question or topic. What if no one responds? What if I make a fool of myself because I put words together like a monkey with a keyboard? 
I forgot what my intended message was here. I guess it's something like the penny jar one finds in a store. Take a penny for yourself when you need it, leave a penny for someone else in case they need it.
Thank you to all the kind people out there who've left a penny for me. Here's my penny for someone else. Please take it if you need it. (This penny is a metaphor,  ).

Addicted to that gym life... LOL
Idk why before I didn't want to go but now OMG best feeling ever.

Surgery went well and I'm so far able to tolerate drinking water and eating SF jello. I think I'm finally out of the fog of anesthesia drugs. The pain is less than I was expecting, compared to what I remember of the surgeries last year.

Found more before photos for comparison to afters

As of this morning, I have officially hit 50 pounds down since surgery! That means I'm averaging 20 pounds per month. Even though it seems slow week to week, I can't argue with that!

Today my sleeve turns 6 months old! Sometimes i forget what it was like 6 months and 50 lbs ago, so i need constant visual reminders

So my daughter reminded my she had a snap shot on her phone of me from about 3 months before i started this journey so pretty close to my max weight. I have had it for few days now and had to work thru my emotions before i could clearly decide if i wanted to post this or not. So the beard hides my 3 chins pretty well but well you can see for yourself. loose skin and all
 

I am so very happy to say that I got my approval letter yesterday for my surgery on May 22.  !!!!! This is the start of a wonderful and exciting  journey in my life.
