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.

      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.
