I finally made a decision with the Doctor I have chosen to go with. I am having surgery at the end of the month. I am going with Dr. Zalvalza. He is very kind to speak to and was able to discuss my previous surgeries an answer my questions and concerns about how they will play into a Sleeve surgery. Being able to speak to the doctor was a crucial element for me and made all the difference in my decision. I had several companies and doctors to choose from. I hope I have made a good one. Thanks everyone for the help. Wish me luck!

I have anxiety about everything including FLYING! I haven't been in a plane since I was a child, over 30 years ago. So, maybe I can get some helpful advice here. I have specific questions. Economy or Pay extra for first class, with surgery recovery as a thought here? Drive 2.5 hours to the airport to NOT have to switch flights and save hundreds of dollars or fly from 30 minutes away at a higher cost and requiring switching flights at other airports. I don't know how to switch flights. will someone help me at the airports? Carry on bag and purse and CPAP machine and luggage. How many bags should I plan on. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you!

Yep, I am in both...! I am glad you are doing so well.

That's wonderful. I am only a couple of weeks away now. Are you in the facebook groups? How are you feeling?

Thank you. Having not flown, I didn't realize I could bring a purse, my CPAP, & the carry on luggage. I am assuming I can also bring my cane through that. I thought I would have to check some of this stuff.

Thanks all for your help. I still need to determine if I want to take a checked bag and a regular sized piece of luggage. Too many choices! I am notorious for over packing. Go figure.

Does anyone know if Accidental Death Insurance covers surgical procedures, like Gastric Sleeve surgery? I want to make sure my family doesn't lose everything if something happens. Thanks.

Thanks. Maybe I should take a regular sized checked bag to carry my computer and everything. Is that allowed? Does anyone know?

Thanks you guys. I think hearing from you all and asking questions and reading your answers will make all of this a little easier to handle.
