Who is your surgeon. I'm trying to get the nerve to get on a plane today. I fly standby so I can go today and have surgery tomorrow or Tues. Still trying to decide on Dr. Kelly, Dr. Ortiz or pay extra and go with Alverez. My fear is this will go all wrong, I will come back with a leak and have medical bills that will devastate my finances.

Oh no Joy, remember that glass is half full. Hopefully things will go great. Its ok and practical to know of things that have gone wrong for a very very few people. but....

i had my WLS 12/15/11, no problems after surgery, and i'm still riding the plane high through they sky. Thats the way you should look at it too!!

best of luck toward your new life
