Who did you book your flight through? Any recommendations for the cheapest way to fly? Orbitz? Priceline? Thanks...

I used spirit airlines......ultra cheap airline 150 from dallas to San Diego and back and that included upgrade to what they call the big front seats.......they do have alot of charges for bags if u need to take lots of bags.

Girl I wanted non stop too. But having a lil layover makes a big difference on the price n I don't mind sight seeing n Phoenix during my layover. Lol. Never been there so it's a win win situation. =)

I'm having to look at flights from Columbus, Ohio to San Diego...UGH! Having trouble finding the appropriate flights to get me there at the set times for my surgery admission/discharge. How the heck do people get anywhere at the times they're supposed to?? I think I'll probably end up having to pay two extra hotel days...bummer! :(

If you have Southwest, they are a great deal. I think you have to book through them, though - not Priceline or another discount airline. The price from Minneapolis is about $270 vs $1000 for other airlines!

I didn't actually purchase it since I haven't scheduled my surgery. I was just checking prices. That is ROUND TRIP! :) Southwest also has free checked bags and great service.

i had to call united airline themselves to book a flight cause i was having a hard time finding times and they booked the three seats wrong :/ it was 1500 for three seats from new orleans to san diago :( but is still cheaper than having it done in the usa!

I knew I wanted to fly Jetblue so I just watched the price via yapta and bing but purchased directly through Jetblue.com I love that I chose my own seats :).

I am not a huge flyer but I have heard of other airlines where you cant chose your own seat or you can at a cost and some airlines charge for luggage.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
