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 :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
