Tickets depend on your departure and return city. should be around 500 per person round trip. hotel is usually included in package unless you want to stay extra. Check orbitz, priceline, hotwire, yahoo travel for flight.

I am not sure where you are flying out of - but my hubby and I got roundtrip tickets for $540 total (for both tickets) from DFW to SD. We are flying Spirit airlines which has "iffy" reviews on their customer service....but frankly, I just want to get there and get home. We upgraded to the "big seats" (like first class) so that I would have plenty of room to be as comfy as possible on way home.

Hotel is included in my package, but I seem to remember when I was first researching Almanza's info having something about a special rate at a few hotels if you were having surgery with him? May want to ask his coordinator/office?

I looked on Kyak which compares all of those - Orbits, priceline, travelocity, etc. and Spirit airlines was always by far the cheapest. So, I went directly to their website to read more about them and just purchased straight from there.

I use priceline "name your price" all the time for hotels, but was scared to do it for airlines thinking I could get some funky departure time (like 4am) and I didnt want to end up stuck with that.

      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.
