Return Flight Time (Kelly Patients)



Recommended Posts

Greetings!

I would like to know from Dr. Kelly patients what time your return flight was scheduled for and if you had any issues crossing back into the US. I would imagine that there must be a rush hour for crossing the boarder...

Thank you for your input!

Good question. I would like to know as well. My return flight is around noon on a Monday.

My return flight was at 3 pm (coming back from San Diego to Toronto). We left the hotel early (8 am) so that no matter how long we were stuck at the border, we would be in plenty of time for the flight.

I was coming back on a Saturday morning, so the return traffic to the US was lower than it would be on a Sunday (people going home after visiting for the weekend), or on a Monday (people going across the border for work or business).

Dr. Kelly, Omar and Cecey are VERY on top of this issue and make sure you have PLENTY of time to catch your flight. Just be sure to remind them several times when your flight leaves. They will coordinate your return along with anyone else who is flying home that day.

Our flight was at 6pm. We chose that time, simply because it was a non stop flight. the day you leave will most likely dictate the time you wait to get accross. Dr. K (and the other drs) has a medical pass, do you get in a much shorter line. We left on a Friday at about 315pm, & it took over an hour to get accross.. Cecey, has a good idea of what the crossing times are, and will plan your departure accordingly :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
